I don't have a code example here, but to me the most difficult error message is the one that happens when a function that is part of a pattern (LHS) is called which produces an error.
Since the pattern is evaluated when an assert or modify is executed by another rule's RHS, the error message describes the context of the second rule which is actually correct and not the first rule which has the error.
