I think the way to do this is to collect ("accummulate") the errors into
a chain, and return that chain at the end, with a specified leading
error that is documented to mean "errors were encountered while
processing externals". Then the caller can identify the nature of the
chain easily, and handle it however it wants, including by displaying a
warning.

By the way, this is similar to the problem I was having with

...which I discussed further in the thread linked to from here:
