Very likely. Very likely indeed.

Ok, the two messages are because there's actually two errors - you can't edit the page, and you also can't change the page content model. I don't think it's a regression, but it ofc could be made more clear.

Similar issue is seen when trying to move a page into another user's css or js page.

Maybe one of the error messages can just be clarified to say "You do not have permission to change the content model of this CSS page [...]" (rather than "edit")?
