What I'd like to know is what this error tells me. Is this something the user can do something about? Or is it some internal error in the emacs network stack? If it is then shouldn't it say something like "It should not happen, please notify the emacs developers"? url-retrieve is a high level function, so I'd expect it to return normal errors like "can't connect to url", so the user knows it's a network error, and if it's something internal emacs bug then it should say "internal error: ...", so the user knows he can't do anything about it, because it's a bug in emacs.
