This one is interesting, error is propagated out a bit but then
ignored in actual command submission.

If the above message means command will not be submitted error is
probably more appropriate. Or perhaps we cannot tell if the command
was submitted or not in this case?

It's insignificant. An actual error would result in a GPU hang, and
without being recorded in the error state any message here is useless.

I don't agree that it is useless, if it is a very unexpected situation it deserves to be logged. People do store and look at logs when things go bad.
