Actually on double-checking:
the original error messages
with their help messages are there in the log file
when one uses -interaction=nonstopmode or scrollmode too.
Why then doesn't AUCTeX fetches them there ?
The Error Overview opens the possibility to go to the
log via "l". The additional error message is
usually one paragraph long and it says enough.
LaTeX is more verbose.
