Interesting.  With ERST backend I didn't see these messages.  Traces in 
pstore recovered files go as far as the line before the "---[ end trace 04a1cddad37b4b33 ]---"

Why the difference depending on which back end is in use?

But I agree that we shouldn't have these messages.  They use up space
in the persistent store that could be better used saving some more lines
from earlier in the console log.
