AFAIU, this happens only in the background daemon. So using a
foreground daemon should allow you to redirect the output to a file.

I don't see a reason to add a new knob, when there is already a
solution. This is a diagnostic feature, so even if the daemon didn't
have a solution at all, I would hesitate adding a new option: you can
always run Emacs normally, and any serious memory related problem will
show itself in that configuration as well.
