commit 599c2c77c6f00718059a1bd7cc00a289bda530bc

    Include principal ids or passed values in error logs
    
    Previously some error logs included the problem principal
    object directly, which resulted in output like:
    
    Principal #RT::Principal=HASH(0x7fe4115fef40)
    
    Update these log messages to provide the principal id or,
    when it can't be loaded, the passed in parameter that
    failed to load.
