Yes. It is quite similar to the existing behavior, just with the
error attached.

In a way, the point of the error is to seal off an unruly possibility.
That enables 'until' and 'until LOCATION' to be simple and consistent:
they would always stop in either the current frame or the return-breakpoint.

It's up to you to decide, I just needed to voice my proposal.

I will calm down now. :)
