There is currently a patch for this (mine; though I could have named it
better, I suppose):

Error reporting in the importers is currently pretty inconsistent and
could use a lot of improvement. You might be interested in taking a look
at the PATCH v3 in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49196> which somewhat
addresses this. Comments are always welcome! :)
