Details

When something goes wrong in applying locales to content one usually gets a red
XUL error, eg.

    <menuitem id="menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu" label="&reporterMenu.title;"
accesskey="&reporterMenu.accesskey;" insertbefore="aboutName"
----^

While experienced (test) users may copy this via DOMI, Joe Users tries to
copy'n'paste that stuff --- and fails.

Thus the error text should be selectable and copyable.
Actually, it should simply not appear and the error should be logged to the JS
console -- we have bugs on this....
