iirc invalid access to map value is one of most common verifier errors that
people see when they're use unbounded access. Generalizing it to memory is
technically correct, but it makes the message harder to decipher.
What is 'mem_size' ? Without context it is difficult to guess that
it's actually size of map value element.
Could you make this error message more human friendly depending on
type of pointer?

I'm not that worried about above three generalizations of errors,
but if you can make it friendly by describing type of memory region
I think it will be a plus.
