Suppose warp drive is invented. What happens next?

You are handling it as if there is a central point of reference, but there isn't.
Am I? I hadn't thought so. I see, for this discussion, 5 points of view, or frames of reference. There is the observer at the origin of the FTL flight, there is the observer on the FTL flight, there is the observer at the destination for the FTL flight, there is some outside observer at a lateral position that can see both the origin and the destination from a distance to the side, and there is the fifth frame of reference, the mathematics. Maybe that is the central frame.
