I have had support requests related to broken block several times, and
(I think) most of *them* had hard time to locate the broken block or
even broken file. I don't think it is useles at all, but I'm not sure
it is worth the additional complexity.

May you have misread the snippet?
What Hubert proposed is:
"invalid page in block %u of relation file %s; zeroing out page",
blkno, <filename>
The second format in my messages just before is:
"invalid page in block %u in relation %u, file \"%s\"",
blockNum, smgr->smgr_rnode.node.relNode, smgrfname()
All of them are not compile-time constant at all.
regards.
