It's very likely that you won't find anything there because failing piece of code is part of gnome-shell and is written in Java Script. I don't see any references to logging facilities in that code. If you have enough time and spare resources you can take a look at https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/ . This issue might be hard to resolve.
