I've made a simple change to capture the file name in the exception when hashing fails so this at least provides a minimum of information when this sort of thing occurs, but it's pretty basic and doesn't really provide information about the context in which the error occurs.
I think part of the problem with this issue was that on the surface it appeared like an error while accessing the cache when in fact it was an error while hashing the inputs. Snapshotting is not the only place where hashing is used - I wonder if it would make sense to put some effort into catching hash-related IO exceptions somewhere as they bubble up and provide some information about the context?
