Arguably, this error message isn't great anyway because of the empty
string node name. We didn't even look for a node name, so why mention it
in the error message?
But your patches are certainly a good improvement already. I would have
merged them, but git grep 'nor node_name=' shows that you missed to
update a few tests, so they fail after the series. I suppose you only
caught the ones that are run by default in 'make check' and missed the
ones that require running the qemu-iotests 'check' script manually.

This is a good explanation for the change you're making. I think it
deserves being committed to the repository in the commit message for
patch 1.
