Again: Do we have to educate the user in an error message?

It's not clear to me what kind of 'misleading' you are thinking of.
The problem at hand is

```
@itemize @asis
```

and should cause a warning/error message.  I consider it completely
natural that the message tells the user to use

```
@itemize @asis{}
```

instead for this specific case.
