From a user prespective, i doubt they care very much if an error occured. They
just want to get to the copyright/description/etc info. If we want to know for
debugging purposes, couldnt we use something more subtle e.g. redirect to image
page but with ?mediaviewererror on the end of the url, so people debugging
could distinguish.
