IDC3009I rc30 rsn34 in moving VOLCAT

My customer encounters MSGADR497E as below while moving a VOLCAT.
ADR497E (001)-CATLG(04), A CATALOG ERROR OCCURRED WHILE DEFINING USER CATALOG SYS1.VOLCAT.VGENERAL.T1406145.T3249100. RETURN CODE
            IS 030, REASON CODE IS EM-034                                      
But IDC3009I rc30 rsn34 indicates 'Explanation: Incorrect name was specified for a define volume category request. Programmer Response: The volume category's name must begin with SYS1.VOLCAT.V.', which confuses my customer because the VOLCAT name is correct.
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=messages-idc3009i
Of counse, I understand that moving VOLCAT using DFSMSdss is not supported and IDCAMS EXPORT/IMPORT should be used.
Moving a Catalog to a Different Volume

Moving catalogs

Note: DFSMSdss cannot be used to move an active VSAM master catalog, integrated catalog facility tape volume catalogs (VOLCATALOG), the VVDS, or the VTOCIX.
.
Could you add some reasonable explanations to the manual IDC3009I rc30 rsn34 in order to deal with MSGADR497E properly in case of moving a VOLCAT?

    There is no functionality to be added with this idea.
    Instead it would be better to be handled via a publication update.

    Please open a case against DFSMSdss and AMS to see if they would be able to make a publication update to help identify your issue.

    Thanks.
