Okay, so it sounds like the best fix would be for launchpad to have an analysis script, instead of having a custom exception handler in loggerhead to deal with this specific situation. Loggerhead itself normally actually shows the user the error it received--it's only on Launchpad that it hides the error. So I think a launchpad-specific resolution would be more appropriate here, and this probably does not need any work on loggerhead.
