dired-do-query-replace-regexp guarantees an error per use

Gentlemen, there I was using dired-do-query-replace-regexp when I
noticed a rude flashing of the screen when the message "All files
processed" is presented.

As Mom says I have too many emacs errors, and has hitched an electronic
error collar up to me, I beseech the Emacs organization to not view
the normal activity of "All files processed" as being an error, so I
might have hope of escaping the painful jolts maybe in the next
edition.

I mean as it is, using dired-do-query-replace-regexp guarantees one
error per usage, which ruined my scorecard at the high school emacs
bake off marathon.

Maybe the guaranteed errors [but officer, I was doing nothing wrong]
can be found in

cd /usr/local/share/emacs/21.1/lisp/
fgrep -n -e 'All files processed' */*.el /dev/null
progmodes/ebrowse.el:3761:    (error "All files processed"))
progmodes/etags.el:1599:    (error "All files processed"))
progmodes/etags.el:1937:             "^All files processed$"
textmodes/reftex-dcr.el:477:      (error "All files processed"))))

I mean OK, maybe you are trying to be cute and ring the bell or
something... it should be optional, done in a cleaner way, etc.

I mean there you are, using emacs, with the bells and lights
a-flashing, as the error counter on the wall goes up and up, while
your office mates, with hardly an error a day, snicker.  Keep it up
and the boss says "game over".

By the way, won't signaling an error mess things up for a larger
enclosing program, in case the user has wrapped this up in one?
