As a followup, simply logging to stderr prints to the $host.err in the mysql data directory, which is good enough for my purposes.
In case anyone else is curious, when experimenting I found I could use my_printf_error to return errors to the console where I inserted the bad data. But, that didn't log anything to the permanent log. The only trick about using my_printf_error was getting the header includes correct -- I needed mysql/my_global.h first.
