It doesn't show in the diff, but the the unauthenticated bit is handled differently. It already points out that you're not logged in and that not being logged in may be the problem.

This was specifically brought up as a point in the conversation around what to do; my understanding was it's not the most common case, but it's not precisely uncommon either. Still, I think switching the message to something like "your account may not have privileges to see this" will address the situation better than "try logging in as someone else".
