This should solve the problem.

What made the previous situation so bad was that the mode was not
visually apparent, and there was no way to get out of it.

Now, the use of messages isn't quite ideal for this (for example, they
go into the message history, and the error message might scroll off if
the window is small), but it is good enough.
