The tiled vs. not-tiled at least could be quite interesting.
We know there are actual bugs in this code where some tiled 
connectors seem to incorrectly think they aren't tiled
while others correctly think they are tiled. Seeing that
spelled out more clearly in the logs might help with triage.

The old debugs were somewhat crap. They basically just said
"looking for mode via <method X>", and then the last one of those
you saw in the log you assumed was the method used in the end.
But not all methods even had that debug print. So basically you
could never be sure what method was used in the end.

It doesn't add anything of the sort. The control flow
is 100% based on mode==NULL.
