Research direction
Reproduce the assembly case with no ORG and .byte 0, then trace the path that emits “Obscure reason - to be documented :)” and “Source is not resolvable.” Identify the relevant error-reporting entry point, replace the obscure output with a useful description, and verify the resulting diagnostic for this input.
