After attempting, and failing, to console a sad VM, we get
back to the user with a fairly sterile message such as

  error: internal error: character device serial0 is not using a PTY

That doesn't properly communicate the extent of our regret
for having been unable to cheer up the poor VM despite our
best efforts.

Try to put this sentiment into words; to further carry the
message, also include a tasteful ASCII rendition of our
sorrow.
