With the changes in the next commit of the series, this particular error
becomes hard to trigger, as setup_user_tool will return with an error
before the error message change in this patch is reached. So I would way
it is not worth to add a test for this particular code path since it seems like
it becomes unreachable in the next commit (but I could be wrong). So mostly
"the latter" is my answer.

Thanks,
Philippe.
