This improved error message would have been useful a few months ago where I

The diff does not change behaviour or output for end-users on the
command line; instead it changes syslog messages which by default are
only readable by root.
As admin going through logs of multiple hosts (in a centralised place)
the proposed change clarifies that whatever was TRIED to be executed
never actually DID execute.
Hi Klemens and Theo,
Yes, I'm aware it was related to syslog output. The end-user situation I
mentioned involved a script run via cron job and folks were getting
confused by weird messages in their syslog due to using the script wrong.
