Because here you are passing an option to *mmake* and not *mmc*.

In Users' Guide,
under "Using Mmake",
we see
 | MCFLAGS and EXTRA_MCFLAGS
 |    Options to pass to the Mercury compiler. (Note that compilation model
 |    options should be specified in GRADEFLAGS, not in MCFLAGS.)

then under "Invocation",
we see

 | mmc is invoked as
 |    mmc [options] arguments

then a little later under the subsection "Verbosity options",
we see
 | -E
 | --verbose-error-messages
 |    Explain error messages. Asks the compiler to give you a more detailed
 |    explanation of any errors it finds in your program.

hence you can either use `mmc -E ...' or you can add the following line
to your Mmakefile

	EXTRA_MCFLAGS = -E

and use `mmake'.
