Do intermediate stages count as result sets? I guess not.

It's also not that the number of records in the intermediate stage is too
large (as there could be only one record per term).

Okay, I'm convinced.

130:  Too many terms matched by masked query term ?

With Ralph's example as the note and an unspecified details format?

(As knowing the maximum number of terms that a mask can match is for all
intents and purposes useless to the client)
