The Debugger has a contextStackTop instvar: that will be the 
doesNotUnderstand: context; the first argument of that top context 
will be the Message that isn't understood.

So (from the Debugger) you should be able to get the Message by

self interruptedContext tempAt: 1

Here's what I did to find that, BTW:

send a bogus message to an object.
PreDebugWindow is created.
Bring up halo on PreDebugWindow, and explore the Morph.
expand model (which is a Debugger).
notice contextStackTop; look at it.
voila!
