Well, what exactly is going to be the reason for a failure on the "real" invocation when the "dry-run" one supposedly failed is unknown. But you're right, messages occurring twice indeed may not be very likely. It's more like these messages appearing and then loading still continuing which might make obvious that something went wrong.
