They're still undocumented, designed for IDE use and subject to change.

The messageMessages is a global property which governs whether 
messageHandled and messageNotHandled messages are sent.  False by 
default, setting it to true causes the engine to send those messages.

A messageHandled message is sent when any message is handled. Check its 
params to see what comes with it - not much, but enough to trigger logging.

I've never used messageNotHandled, but presumably it's sent when a 
message is fired and nothing in the message path handles it.
