compiler: Fix emitting a confusing error for non visible class method

Changes the error message when trying to lookup names on GRE that
`must_have_parent` but we get an `AmbiguousOccurrence`. The new
behavior now points the user to the missing name, instead of the
name clash which would be unhelpful in solving their compiling issue.

Fixes #24452
