The proper error code looks like an obvious improvement, but I do
wonder if there should be some (ratelimited) system logging too?

I've seen a lot of programs that don't report errors very clearly and
might just silently stop running and as a sysadmin I'd think I'd
rather have something in the system logs than users saying "my app
crashes at startup"/

Maybe the logging ends up being there already - just done later. It
wasn't obvious from the patch, and I didn't check the whole callchain
(only direct callers).
