Okay, so this explains why switching the order still didn't work... sometimes log_message is set and sometimes it isn't, but log_message is always what is shown even if not explicitly set. I didn't see that anywhere in the docs, but that doesn't mean I'm not just blind.

I just assumed that when the docs were written, only address verification was there and that the other bits were added later but worked in the same fashion.
