Indeed, and main motivation was to eliminate reports like this, where
(clearly) an LLM spotted the "problem" even if there is none. Guess that
was a good move, just need it to land so that we don't need to waste
time on this again.

Nobody cares about "wasting a reuse opportunity" in an error path, any
human would recognize that.
