There was a fierce debate between outputting a brief error message and
spewing a long stack trace, but in the end we went with the stack trace.

(Perhaps you don't realize how "Is this how we'd like this error to be
handled?" comes across.)

Can I give some general encouragement to people to use the bug database
to report bugs rather than sending them to the lists, unless there is
something super unusual and fascinating about that particular bug,
keeping in mind there are hundreds of open tickets which should be no
less important for being a little (or a lot) older.
