This is what Emacs does.

and message1 (based on other uses elsewhere) seems to be used for
ordinary echo area messages (like prompt strings etc) as opposed to an
"error" message.

It is easy to check though.

I don't have access to a Windows machine.  It should really be an error
and not a simple informative message.  Try this:

1. Remove libxml
2. M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
3. Export to freemind

Do you now get a backtrace buffer?
