I only just remembered that this is exactly what logdetail is designed
to do. It's passed in from CheckSASLAuth, but OAuth doesn't make use
of it. (My original patchset carried a TODO for this for a long time,
but I lost it at some point...)

I have a parallel patchset that also needs logdetail, so this fix can
piggyback on some of that work.
