I'm inclined to vote no-go on the message. AFAIR we've only heard the
one complaint about this, so I'm not convinced there's a lot of people
making such a mistake. We did make the logic change to deal with the
underlying problem of a misleading error message after you'd done it,
and I think that might be enough.
