Indeed. The caller can't distinguish between cancel and an error.

I don't know if this is a concious decision for some sort of security
consideration, so I would be reluctant to change it without some
discussion with upstream. It is however more than a few minutes work,
and not really appropriate for this point in a release cycle anyway.
