I like the idea of reducing duplication. I don't like the "prefix"
as proposed though, because it's not going to work well for translation
(string building) -- I'd rather pass the entire phrase from caller, so
that the translator has one piece to translate which lives in the module
that emits it. I think I'd do something like

ereport(LOG,
errmsg_internal("%s: %.*s",
_(prefix), len, message));

and see to it that each caller uses gettext_noop() around the string
they pass as "arg", for gettext to collect.
