I'm rather negative on controlling these two error reports with the same flag
because...

This reasoning is not correct. Error reporting in the routines in
run-command.c is structured such that callers have to check the return code,
but they do not report errors themselves. Therefore, even if callers request
silent_exec_failure, they will not do their own error reporting if there is
some other failure.
