The errors that I frequently make show up as an additional empty stave or a 
ridiculously over long bar that runs off the page. This
alerts me to an error but I have to search for it and they can be be very 
simple typos. Error messages in the log may also be a
later result of the error rather than pin pointing its location so some digging 
is usually required.
 
This seems fine to me as all you have to do is work through the input step by 
step to loacte the error. It would be difficult
(impossible) to pick out all input errors in programs like Lilypond compared to 
familar number crunching codes, how the heck does
the code know what your intentions are and what is an "error" in your source.
 
Lets not ask the impossible of hard pressed developers.
