Oh yes, it was. This is because you are using an SELinux-based
distro. And on those the label for the socket is calculated from the
binary that will eventually be started on it. If that binary doesn't
exist, the calculation and the socket binding will fail with ENOENT...

But yeah, we should generate more useful errors in this case, indeed.
