I like the idea, but I would expect to see a lot of very confused users when that error message is displayed.

Any feedback on that from your users?

I'm afraid that the user, expecting something (from bad error reporting in other places) like "Resource 0x23498382 failed to close", will interpret the error message as a further malfunction.

However, it does remind me of something pgp did, where a bit string (a key hash, I think) was converted into a sequence of words pulled out of a phonetically-distinct dictionary.
