Nice catch! I just saw this happen at work, I agree we should do something about it.
One solution would be to modify ObjectMessage.getFormattedString(): If the object is an instance of Throwable then return the Throwable's stacktrace instead of its toString() result. I'm not a big fan of using instanceof, but it gives us a very compact solution. Thoughts?
