You're right that the message about finding the error message in the system console is also printed to the system console, which might be slightly confusing, but the lines before show the stack trace / error message that clearly state what is wrong. For your particular example the output is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\Text", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'fgdifnmdflknsmfkldfnmngfklsmdsklfmgbdklfjml' is not defined
Error: Python script failed, check the message in the system console

There is no bug here as far as I can tell. Some ideas have been discussed among developer which may result in exception / error messages being more accessible through the UI in the future.

I'm seeing the issue described above, but unfortunately, I do not get any other trace information as you have suggested above.

Cleared console and ran script to demonstrate in the image below.

I do however get trace messages if I paste all code to the console, but obviously this is not ideal for debugging.

Blender 3.0
OS: Win 10 (Build 19042)
VCard: NVIDIA Quadro T2000m
