Description of problem:
When a user encounters a warning/error uploading a manifest, there appears to be no validation bubbling up to the UI. The only clue that "something went wrong" is that the user is taken immediately back to the Subscriptions page, and warnings in Monitor > Tasks

Note that it happens only when the import task finishes before the UI polls for a running tasks. If the import task is fast enough to complete in this gap, UI doesn't show any toast notification. If it catches the task, warning is shown normally.

Only toast notifications are affected. There's a message in the notification drawer reporting an error that appears with some delay eventually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.4.0 snap 10

How reproducible:
Not 100%. It happens only when the import task finishes before the UI polls for a running tasks.

Steps to Reproduce:

Do something which would trigger a validation error. Below is an example.
1. Create two orgs "Org A" and "Org B".
2. Switch to Org A
3. Go to Content > Subscriptions > Manage Manifest
4. Upload a manifest.
5. Switch to Org B
6. Attempt to upload the same manifest used in Org A.

Actual results:

User is silently taken back to Subscriptions page. No error messages, but no manifest upload status bar appears.

If user navigates to Monitor > Tasks, they will see the warning about bad manifest. This needs more visibility.

Expected results:
Errors bubble up to UI

Additional info:
Surely there are other things which can trigger this, but nothing else has been explored. It would be quite worthwhile for dev to try out a number of different permutations while fixing, and for QE to write up test cases.
