Believe the above low-level messages.

My guess:

Other places likely translate the more detailed error
classification to more generic classifications that
hopefully result in an appropriate handling of the issue
but is otherwise not necessarily correct.

In other words: do not believe the later related messages
in all its detail.

This activity probably did not depend on the bad cylinder
checksums.
