My take is that we could eventually change the whole suppressible_error()/errseen framework, but not right now, since this is more of a new feature than a bug fix. This would go well with my proposal to track the kind of error (i.e., which system call) with a bit-flag in the exit code as well.
May I gently discourage you from proposing to track the kind of error with a bit-flag in the exit code. See, for example, <http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/glibc/libc_559.html>. Feel free to discuss if if you like, though (in a suitable mail thread, of course :-).
