I have fail2ban installed and the only regexp has to do with invalid
passwords.  The message I was getting did not have an ip address so
fail2ban would not have worked at all.  I thought I remembered a
discussion on one of the conferences that logging would be improved --
is this wrong?

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
