The inconsistency makes the word flow more natural, but I agree that
consistency is more important.  I think I can make all the messages
say the problem first, then provide the path at the end.

I considered that.  I think we are still ok, and I don't have a better
solution than adding flag values.  (I did have some Rube Goldberg
variations.)
