Hmmmm... you [almost] got me there -- considering the minisoft discussion
and the message I *just* sent on that topic, I guess I have to
"<plug>MPEX</plug>" :)

It's trivial, really, but the difference is that error 1441 is an ERROR,
while 1477 is a WARNING -- not something you'd note right off given the
format of the sleeper error messages.  It turns out that

:help ciWARN1477

will give you the information you are looking for.

Now, why the "plug" for MPEX? because in MPEX, the distinction between
"errors" and "warnings" is quietly overlooked, so when you type

%help cierr 1477  [note the "space" between the "cierr" and the number is
optional]

you get:

MPE's :HELP CIWARN1477 displays the following:
MESSAGE   USER PASSWORD SPECIFIED BUT NOT REQUIRED; IGNORED.
          (CIWARN 1477)

CAUSE     The user password specified was not required and was ignored
          by the system.

ACTION    None.

Note the first line says "MPE's :HELP CIWARN..." which is the only clue this
is a WARNING rather than an ERROR.  Sure enough, outside of MPEX doing the
help on the ciwarn1477 shows the same text.
