I don't have these messages on my systems, and I have separate /usr as well. Additionally, I think that the error message is quite on the point, as a non-existing file is not a plain file. I would be willing to give a different error message like "$STATEFILE not found" if $STATEFILE does not exist. Is that an acceptable fix for you? I am not happy with the fix you suggested, though.
