I think it's a bug.

The function that populates the call location is in the Formatter Module [1] starting at line 7:
Private Function GetCallLocation() As String

   Dim iCount As Integer = 1

   While System.Backtrace[iCount] Begins "Logger" Or System.Backtrace[iCount] Begins "Formatter"
     Inc iCount
   Wend

   Return System.Backtrace[iCount]

End

I think that While statement should be:
While System.Backtrace[iCount] Begins "Log" Or System.Backtrace[iCount] Begins "Formatter"
