Most likely, the 2 different messages mean the same thing, for LZO. There's
some strangeness in the manner that LZO goes about decompression. A wrong
password can sometimes cause the decompression to abort instead of getting to
the end, where the password can be checked. AFAIK there's no way to reliably
decide whether a "Error decompressing" is a real error or just a bad password.
