Use the standard message for reporting the use of multiple mutually exclusive options by calling die_for_incompatible_opt3() instead of rolling our own. This has the benefits of showing only the actually given options, reducing the number of strings to translate and making the UI slightly more consistent. Adjust the test to no longer insist on a specific order of the reported options, as this implementation detail does not affect the usefulness of the error message.
