Subject: [PATCH] Makes the 1643 error more explicit  (#87172)

I wrote this expecting that there would be more broken versions in the
distant future, so we could simply re-use this block for those

But I forgot this will most likely be seen by fresh contributors or
people who don't even contribute and are just testing things

So I'm just making the message as explicit as possible
