Yeah, this is part of a more general problem, which you have
characterized correctly: What is fatal (or error, or warning, ...) to
the client isn't necessarily fatal (or error, or warning, ...) to the
server or DBA. Fixing this would need a larger enhancement of the
logging infrastructure. It's been discussed before, but it's a bit of work.
