ERRP_GUARD() makes debugging easier by making sure that &error_abort
still fails at the real origin of the error instead of
error_propagate().

Yes.

The code you patch uses error_propagate() to work around functions not
returning distinct error values.  error.h's big comment recommends such
return values, but recommendations don't update code, patches do.

Until then, ERRP_GUARD() is clearly a better crutch than
error_propagate().
