As we are going to have an -rc4, I had a look at this.

Commit 66363e9a43f was in February and explicitly says "Note: Some
places don't use hmp_handle_error". So this doesn't seem to be a
regression and even if it's fixed, it's likely not the last place that
doesn't use the "Error:" prefix. This would suggest that this isn't for
-rc4.

Am I misunderstanding the situation?
