Maybe? I do not know what makes sense to users or it would probably make
sense.

Is that the output you got? If so it has changed a lot. No idea if it is
more or less confusing. The 0 of 3 case should be fixed though. It does
not print out a error.
Here is what it looks like now on failure:
iscsiadm -m node -L all
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2008-09.com.tgtd.meanminna,
portal: 20.15.0.30,3260] (multiple)
iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target:
iqn.2008-09.com.tgtd.meanminna, portal: 20.15.0.30,3260].
iscsiadm: initiator reported error (8 - connection timed out)
iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals
