+synopsis: "Consistently preserve error messages from cached evaluation"
+issues: [12762]
+prs: [12809]
+---
+
+In one code path, we are not returning the errors cached from prior evaluation, but instead throwing generic errors stemming from the lack of value (due to the error).
+These generic error messages were far less informative.
+Now we consistently return the original error message.
