IIRC from when I implemented new-Causeway logging in E-on-CL, this is  
to be expected: the new format is significantly different in semantics.

Please note that all of the Pluribus implementation will eventually be  
rewritten in E. This should be handled not by clever choice of  
logging, but by being able to either selectively log or filter within  
Causeway such that only the module of interest is viewed in Causeway.

I don't have the time right now to swap in enough understanding to  
comment further.
