Subject: Misleading error message when defining empty keyboard macro and no
 keyboard macro has been defined yet.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

- - Start emacs with -Q
- - Press <f3> and immediately <f4>

Result (in echo area):
Only one keyboard macro defined.

Huh? In fact, there are only *zero* keyboard macros defined (if you do
not count the empty one that has been ignored).

Expected result:
Ignore empty macro
