Yes, precisely.  The message was deemed more useful than
incorrekt/incomplet information.  Just need to hook in either a
pretty-printer or location expression dumper.

I'm waiting until after DW_OP_piece to do this, so that we'll be able
to say something like:
  "b" is a variable with multiple locations:
    4 bytes at 0x10002030
    4 bytes in $r13
    8 bytes in $f12
