Uh ... I don't think Sync itself can fail.  Any ErrorResponse you see
there is really from failure of some prior command.  The Sync is really
delimiting how much stuff you'd like to skip in case of a failure.
Basically this is to allow pipelining of commands, with the ability to
discard later commands if an earlier one fails.

But in any case, no, Sync would not suppress an error message if
one is needed.
