That first call can typically never error (as the location is at least below the primary working copy and the result already in the hashtable in wc_db), which makes the error handling mostly a no-op.

In the second case the current code guarantees that the actual result is always the same error... a pattern we use in many cases. The secondary error is not that interesting, while the unexpected status us.

The external_remove code only tries to remove the bad information to help you not see this error again, as you would have before this patch. If it fails nothing is lost. (But I don't like to just clear error chains).

Most likely users will never see the internal error anyway, as some outside code filters it to the top level error code only in the notification handling. (Processing errors in externals are usually not fatal)
