Would this work in this case? The variable ‘debug-on-message’ seems to
be handled in the C-function ‘set_message’ which, on a cursory glance, I
cannot see being called from ‘add_to_log’ or below. Therefore,
‘debug-on-message’ may be bypassed in this case here.

Here is one:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((buf (generate-new-buffer "*test*"))
(s (propertize "Hello World" 'face '(:foreground nil))))
(with-current-buffer buf
(insert s))
(display-buffer buf))
#+end_src
Upon evaluation, the resulting output in the “*Messages*” buffer also
shows another issues with a missing newline between messages (in Emacs
28.1 at least).
#+begin_example
#<window 54 on *test*<2>>Invalid face attribute :foreground nil
Invalid face attribute :foreground nil
#+end_example
Maybe a value of nil for the :foreground attribute in an anonymous face
should be handled the same way as it is in a face defined with
‘defface’, that is being treated as the symbol ‘unspecified’?
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(progn
(defface my/test '((t . (:foreground nil))) "test face")
(face-attribute 'my/test :foreground))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: unspecified
