Restoring version in Document Library causes unhandled exception when not checked out

Question

We have a Sharepoint 2013 Foundation installation, with a document library that has check-out requirement activated.

Error

Any idea on how to catch this error and maybe display a nicer message?

The user will get nice SharePoint popup window with the same message text but without terrible ASP callstack information.
