That's fixed in the next patch (6/6). Maybe 5/6 and 6/6 should be
squashed? It's the same fundamental problem, but with different
implications (as described in the commit messages). 5/6 is about the
error (debug) message being not shown all the times it needs to be, and
6/6 is about returning the correct error code to the higher layer[1].

draw the line between having fewer patches which are larger, and having
more smaller patches which are easier to understand.
