I think for most cases it's easy enough to figure out where the error goes. I do see the subtly of the dg-accepts-invalid directive now in the harder cases. A change of state of them by the new error message I'd like to think is enough to get the people to look at the test case and the corresponding bug report. I'd propose seeing if people don't also push along the bug in that sort of complex case, I think they will.
