You can use the following code to log variable values to the Horde log file:
Horde::logMessage($some_scalar_variable_or_text, __FILE__, __LINE__);

You could, but since Gunnar is taking care of most Kolab related bugs  
these days and he doesn't know how to fix it either, I'm not sure this  
would help a lot.
But if you can collect some more information with your debugging, you  
should indeed create a ticket for that.
