But the UX is poor in such cases because in practice
it is then basically impossible for the user
to make a meaningful issue report.

As long as that red "an error occurred" linuxrc popup is still open, you can switch to console 2 and use "save_y2logs" and copy the logs away.

That has been clearly documented since the very first version of the Bug Reporting FAQ that I wrote (yes, my version was the original!) almost 20 years ago. ;-)
