We were expecting to see something, and instead of seeing that
specific thing we were waiting, we saw the end-of-file?

That sounds like "the other side hung up unexpectedly" to me.  Does
it bother you for being "too generic" because it does not say what
we were expecting to see?  "unexpected disconnect while waiting for
a sideband packet"?
