ServiceControl MessageFailed events do not contain message bodies

Symptoms

Subscribing to MessageFailed events from ServiceControl.Contracts does not include the message body, even though the message is text, less than 85KB (small enough to avoid the Large Object Heap), and Full-Text indexing of message bodies is enabled.

Who's affected

Anyone subscribing to ServiceControl.Contracts MessageFailed event and trying to access the message body when using ServiceControl 5.0 or later.

Root cause

The transition to RavenDB 5 required changes in how the message body is stored in ServiceControl which were not reflected by matching changes to the code publishing external integration events.
