In general, errors generated in internal code paths don't matter. If the
function fails in the end, it should set a proper error code. If it
doesn't fail, the error code is irrelevant and isn't supposed to be
checked by the app. In cases where an app mistakenly does check it,
again we have to set it explicitly. Complicating internal code paths to
avoid changing last error is not worth the trouble; in many cases the
same thing happens on Windows anyway.
