Are you suggesting that logicalrep_message_type should include the
numerical value of 'action' in the ??? message? Something like this:

 ERROR:  invalid logical replication message type "X"
 CONTEXT:  processing remote data for replication origin "pg_16638" during message type "??? (123)" in transaction 796, finished at 0/16266F8

I don't see why not -- seems easy enough, and might help somebody.
