The interactive rebase has the very special magic that a cherry-pick that exits with a status different from 0 and 1 signifies a failure to even record that a cherry-pick was started. This can happen e.g. when a fast-forward fails because it would overwrite untracked files. In that case, we must reschedule the command that we thought we already had at least started successfully.
