IllegalStateException instead of understandable error message like "No implementation for Abstract was bound"

See original GitHub issue

Given the reduced example below I receive a really long and misleading exception instead of a short descriptive error:

import javax.inject.Provider;
import com.google.inject.AbstractModule;
import com.google.inject.Guice;
import com.google.inject.Injector;
import com.google.inject.Stage;
public class Main {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(Stage.DEVELOPMENT, new AbstractModule() {
			@Override
			protected void configure() {}
		});
		injector.getInstance(Outer.class);
	}
}
abstract class Abstract {
	@Inject
	public Abstract(Outer o) {}
}
class Middle {
	@Inject
	public Middle(Outer o, Provider<Abstract> a) {}
}
class Middle2 {
	@Inject
	public Middle2(Outer o) {}
}
class Outer {
	@Inject
	public Outer(Provider<Middle> m, Provider<Middle2> m2) { // remove m2 to get the good error message
		System.out.println("SUCCESS!");
	}
}

The error message I get is:

Instead of an error message like (if Outer m2 is removed):

Exception in thread "main" com.google.inject.ConfigurationException: Guice configuration errors:

1) No implementation for Abstract was bound.
  while locating com.google.inject.Provider<Abstract>
    for the 2nd parameter of Middle.<init>(Main.java:30)
  while locating com.google.inject.Provider<Middle>
    for the 1st parameter of Outer.<init>(Main.java:42)
  while locating Outer
