Please be aware that '%s' format strings may not call __str__ on
exceptions when converting them strings. Instead, it may convert the
arguments to the exception to a string instead.

This appears to be the cause of bug 13003 that has been causing sporadic
test suite failures since our upgrade to Python 2.6. (I've verified
that pkgsend performs as expected with Python 2.4.)
This may mean that we'll have to consider always explicitly calling
str() on our exception objects and that our client error handling may
now be partially broken for users since the upgrade.
