How about this:

--- a/qmp.c
+++ b/qmp.c
@@ -200,7 +200,9 @@ ObjectPropertyInfoList *qmp_qom_list(const char *path, Error **errp)

     obj = object_resolve_path(path, &ambiguous);
     if (obj == NULL) {
-        error_set(errp, QERR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND, path);
+        error_set(errp,
+                  ambiguous ? "Path '%s' is ambiguous" : QERR_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND,
+                  path);
         return NULL;
     }

The difference here is that we test "ambiguous" variable only if obj is NULL,
ie, only on error path.  Please note that object_resolve_path() does not
initialize *ambiguous in all code paths.

Thanks,
