Well .. I guess the plugin could guess that any \2e (and the few other  
escapes) in any error string could be converted back, but I don't  
think it's really worth the trouble since normally a client wouldn't  
ever issue such a command that gives an error..

There's a similar problem also if you're using namespace prefixes.  
They're dropped from the error messages. Maybe when I some day manage  
to solve that somehow this listescape problem might get solved at the  
same time. :)
