It does, and I think this is the right thing to do here. But...

Nope, doesn't help this issue.

But I think "clobbering the error message" is a red herring; we're
actually seeing the error set by the final loader that is called.

The final loader called, for "/usr/bin/last" -- which exists -- is the
'last' loader.  In last_open(), it sets LT_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND as a
sort of "generic" error value -- which, strangely, is exactly the
OPPOSITE of the problem here.

The real problem is there actually IS a file named /usr/bin/last, but
because that name does not match exactly "last", last_open() reports
what it considers a generic error.
