Comment:

 If we switch direction to improving the default messages, then this is an
 enhancement with normal severity. Changing the summary was good. And I set
 the milestone to try for later this year.

 I do not have a patch ready today. If someone else wants to create one
 before I do (and/or claim ownership of the ticket), you are welcome to do
 so.

 I think the code would be similar to this in both files, though I expect
 it still needs some editing to work for any site (that does not override
 the message):
 {{{
         $login_url = network_site_url( '/wp-login.php' );
         $errors->add( 'email_exists', sprintf( '<strong>Error</strong>:
 This email is already registered. <a href="%s">Log in</a> with this
 address or choose another one.', $login_url ) );
 }}}
