Nothing shows up in /var/system.log.
I did finally find this:

For whatever reason, using the AppleScript actually does perform the compaction. But running that same hdiutil command in bash doesn't. I just don't understand that.
Also, I get this message in system.log:
Code:
diskimages-helper[7433]: compaction returned error 0\n
That's a literal "\n" at the end of the line. I'm hoping I can interpret that as error code zero, meaning no error.
