Hmm.

1st time around, any other error code would result in us just returning directly
which is fine.
2nd time around I'm not sure we care about what the error code is.  Even if
something else went wrong we failed to recover and the first error
that lead to that was -ETIMEDOUT.

So I think this is correct as is, be it a little unusual!
