Oh indeed you're right!

It gives me the following:

(progn (defvar use-package--warning196 #'(lambda (keyword err) (let ((msg (format "%s/%s: %s" 'prog-mode keyword (error-message-string err)))) (display-warning 'use-package msg :error)))) (condition-case-unless-debug err (progn (condition-case-unless-debug err (progn (defun hello nil (print "hello")) (hello)) (error (funcall use-package--warning196 :init err))) (if (not (require 'prog-mode nil t)) (display-warning 'use-package (format "Cannot load %s" 'prog-mode) :error))) (error (funcall use-package--warning196 :catch err))))
