Aha, I found the problem.  I'm setting the global log function, but not
the global "audit log" function which is issuing these.  That function
was added in GnuTLS 2.99, after I worked on the GnuTLS integration for
Emacs.

I was planning on requiring GnuTLS 3.x anyhow, so perhaps this can be
implemented with that rework instead of as a standalone change?
