While that's fixing the swapped messages, I'm considering dropping some
of the messages completely. Eg. the warning 'rescan in progress' seems
useless because why I as a user should be notified about that? If I run
rescan twice and it's still in progress, there's no problem. And with
similar usability reasoning, look at the messages and drop them
eventually.

The specific messages were added by Qu in 9593bf49675ef, to improve the
message that printed function name and error code. That was an
improvement but now I'm questioning the utility of the messages.
