Sounds like a bad error message to me.

Anyway, there is ongoing work to improve the tooling situation and
encourage (or better yet, force) their use on the developer side
*before* attempting to load into an arbitrary host.  I think that's the
solution here: guessing and seeing if it works in $ARBITRARY_HOST is
always going to be a really bad time, for many reasons (most of which
are much more confusing than this one).

Tools!  Tools!  Tools!
