Failure to Register Command in SNG7 (v 12.7.6-1904-1.sng7)

I am using the plain vanilla FreePBX distro provided by FreePBXHosting.  The only change that may be exposing this defect is that I login as a named user (not root), but who has been added to the root, wheel, and asterisk groups.  (I did this because as a policy I like to disable ssh login for root.)

The specific error code is below.[1]  But, by looking at the stack trace and the source, I can see that the login script is trying to add a fwconsole command using what appears to be a deprecated method.  Here is the code that is called at the start of the unhandled exception's code path:

{{ \FreePBX::Logger()->log(LOG_WARNING, 'Deprecated way to add Console commands for module '.$rawname.', adding console commands this way can have negative performance impacts. Please use module.xml. See: https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/Adding+fwconsole+commands');}}

(from /var/lib/asterisk/bin/fwconsole:137)

It looks like the Logger()->log() call borked because the "/var/log/asterisk/freepbx.log" could not be opened

The interesting thing about this failure is that it does not show up if I sudo su -  You can see the output below.[2]
