The lastError() method is currently used for showing errors from
rendering, not from layer load stage. When the layer fails to load,
usually a QgsMessageOutput class is used to send a message to the user
about the cause. In QGIS application a dialog pops up with the
message. If you are developing a custom application, the default
behavior is to print this to console. It is possible to set a custom
message handler in order to process these errors in an appropriate
way.

Do you run this code
