The situation that lead here is an attempt to index a sparse pattern using 2 images only, separated widely in phi. These images represent two separate experiments, but we are jointly indexing one crystal model. As indexing progresses in macrocycles, one image becomes favoured, and the spots on the other image are no longer being indexed. Eventually no indexed spots are left on the weaker image.
Possibly in this case we should continue anyway and just throw out the bad image. However, at the very least we can fail with an appropriate error message. This PR adds that message, rather than failing with a related but confusing message later.
