Troubleshooting the "Unable to decode" (IdP 3.3)

We are getting a regular stream of bad requests, from a specific IP subnet range, which are logging the "Unable to decode" and "Cannot Unmarshall XML" errors.  I have tried tuning up the log level for opensaml and for messages, but I can only get the IP address.  It appears 'messages' logger only debugs out valid messages and not invalid ones; I assume for good reason.

Is there any known way to get a look at these incoming SAML requests without knowing what entity is, only that the subnet is registered to Facebook?

Thanks for the help.
