Setting as "Feature request" because this looks like mainly misleading error output with the root cause not obvious. This can certainly be improved. I don't have a better clue so I added ":retry" in the hope that this helps in some cases. But also I don't see anything we can do right now. There are other tickets in related areas so we might come back to this or solve it anyway implicitly elsewhere.
