0. emacs -Q

1. in Dired type 'v' ('dired-view-file') to view a read-protected file, e.g.
   from non-root to visit a file with such permissions: -rw------- root root

2. Empty buffer is displayed (but the file size is several kilobytes)

3. The echo area displays the message:

   View mode: type C-h for help, h for commands, q to quit.

4. Visiting *Messages* reveals the error message:

   Note: file is write protected

obscured by the View mode message above.

But this error message is wrong anyway.  In previous versions
the error message was correct:

    find-file-noselect-1: File is not readable:

and it rightfully refused to visit the read-protected file.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the bug report. That one's my fault, as it was due to this patch:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=ba0605779e0e207161441c08afdfac57ed603f69

which fixed a problem elsewhere but introduced a bug. I installed the attached 
patch to fix things.
