Comment:

 I'm presuming that the very complex filter that was removed in 21133 was
 removed for its complexity, so I have created a very simple action. I used
 it successfully to log actions that failed because the nonce wasn't
 correct. My specific test was copying the link for switching to the theme
 to Twenty Eleven, and removing the last character from the nonce string
 before submitting it. I was able to log 'switch-theme_twentyeleven' using
 the action added in my patch 24030.diff

 If something more complicated is needed, please let me know and I will
 take a stab at it.
