nit: A convention for logging is:

If the log message includes values from your code then you must use placeholders rather than constructing the string yourself using simple concatenation. Consider wrapping the values in [...] to help distinguish them from the static part of the message.

Can you add that around issuerValue (maybe at the null check?)?

remove duplication (since I need to edit the exact same log message twice)

the context of this is SAML Logout with a query string; the message gets parsed into a SAML document after the signature has been verified, so I'm not sure it's possible to pass an Issuer here

Yes, I agree. We could change the order of things here so the issuer is parsed from the message before throwing the error, but if that parsing fails, it ends up causing more confusion than help so I think it makes sense to leave it as it.
