It isn't complaining about super modifier here.
In a string, \s means SPC, so the error (correctly) states that
SPC cannot be used as a prefix key in global-map.

It would have to look for [SPC minus] in the string to guess that the user
probably tried to bind the super modifier... That's just too obscure IMO.
