I'm running into this whilst making a mod and it is a bit strange and annoying. Even when the entity is not mineable (set through prototype or control), if you try to right click on it while at a distance it says "Cannot reach" even though it wouldn't do anything if you were close to it.

EDIT: I actually don't care about this anymore, my mod has gone in a different direction.

Thanks for the report. This is something I've known about but we don't have a nice solution. The logic doesn't do all of the minability checks at the point where you start interacting with a thing and instead just says "well you can't reach it; skip all the sending of actions for now".
