It turns out this isn't necessary.  If you make sure to turn on
async-debug in the subordinate, messages and backtraces are logged in
the parent *emacs* buffer.  I only set async-debug in the parent, so I
didn't get the full debug log.

This was very helpful.  I was able to make good progress towards finding
the root cause.  Not completely there yet though.
