In a sense, both are "pull first?" situation, and it probably is
more confusing to give different messages to the user in these
two cases.  From the end-user point of view they are the same
"remote is not strict subset.".

In non-git'ish, does this mean "you're not up to date, so pull before 
pushing" ? If so, why not say so? I'm sure it could prevent a fair few 
problems for users (not least those new to scm's).

Perhaps.  I was suggesting to say that in *both* places, not
just one.
