I had a private chat with Dave about this.  It was my view that a missing
file that is read by a backend COPY is indistinguishable from, say, a
missing table or trigger, as far as recovery options by the client
application are concerned.

It doesn't.  This is related to an Informix porting project, which
apparently has a separate error code for its LOAD command.  Why exactly
that would affect our COPY isn't totally clear to me.
