I don't think that we really need two keywords, because the volume is low:
We now have thirty-something PRs with the stamp "[diagnostic]" in the
summary line. They all fit on a single screen. And even if the number
doubled, the number would still be small compared to "ice-on-(in)valid-code"
for example.

And we still have the summary line where we can give information like
"misleading".

Btw, thanks for adding the keyword "error-recovery"!
