CopiedFailure probably doesn't have that information available separately.
It's written such that in the serialization side, it just sends the string
traceback rather than all the frames, etc, but I must've missed sending the
actual exception message separately. You can report a bug on the tracker and
assign it to me, but I encourage you to try to patch it, as I've been
swamped lately :)
