bug#4398: 23.1.50; Reading dangling symbolic link gives misleading message

--text follows this line--

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Create a symbolic link to a nonexistent file.
M-!  ln -s /nowhere/thatfile /tmp

Try to find-file dangling link:

C-x C-f /tmp/thatfile

Now I get a request for confirmation  [Confirm]
After confirming, I get as message

File exists, but cannot be read

Expected: A more specific message like: "dangling link".

Some messages are already informative, like
"file-truename: Apparent cycle of symbolic links for /tmp/circular"
