I'm not following your reasoning here. This *has* to be called in an
error case, before you're outside the error processing context.
Otherwise there would be no data available to be printed.
In short: FlushErrorState, by definition, destroys the information that
GetErrorContextStack looks at. So in the current implementation,
GetErrorContextStack is burning its bridges behind it. That's at the
very least a surprising behavior. I am betting that it will have
unpleasant consequences for any sort of nested-error scenario.
