It seems there are a couple of places in `_pickle.c` where we favour a `KeyError` instead of `UnpicklingError` such as https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Modules/_pickle.c#L6178. From a quick debugging it seems it originates in `load_long_binget`. 

Ideally those places should return `UnpicklingError` instead, not sure why a `KeyError` was preferred. Happy to submit a patch if that's a change that makes sense.
