Question about Puzzle 54274

In the seventh move of Puzzle 54274, Ned5 is mate in one, while Ncd5 leads to mate in two. Shouldn't the mate in two at least return a "good move, but you can do better" instead of failure? It was a little frustrating to calculate mate in eight from the starting position, then miss Ned5 and fail the problem because there's a mate in seven.
