plot::plim: Range specification message missing in 11.0.1

Question

Bug introduced in 11.0.1 and fixed in 11.1.0

In version 11.0.1, the error message Plot::pllim: Range specification no longer shows up when a user makes an error. And no beep either.

Example:

r = 2;
Plot[Exp[-x], {-r, r}]

Here is the above command run on 10.4 and on 11.0.1, both on windows, 64 bit:

Version 10.4

I do not have version 11.0 installed any more, as 11.0.1 replaced it, so I can't check when this difference came about.

Should this be tagged a bug?

$\begingroup$ Version 11 still has the error message. $\endgroup$

This bug has been fixed as of Mathematica 11.1.0.

r = 2;

Plot[Exp[-x], {-r, r}]

Plot::pllim: Range specification {-2, 2} is not of the form {x, xmin, xmax}.

(* Plot[Exp[-x], {-r, r}] *)
