There definitely should be a reference to the offending source-file.
Escepially in a situation where many dynamically loaded files
are loaded, it is helpful to know where the error occurred.

I'm not sure what you mean with the line-number: the "address@hidden" message
above tells it: it is (should be) line 29. Macro-expansion can
sometimes slightly change the locaton, though: the code that is
generated by the expansion (the code "inside" the macro-def)
will have the same line-number as the "top-level" macro expression.
