This worked pretty well.  I had to change builder.FAILURE to FAILURE (we
import FAILURE by name, rather than importing builder) and change getURLFor
to getURLForThing.  

It resulted in including a URL specifically to
...<buildername>/builds/74/step-build

which then lets me click on the stdio log.  

Ideally, I'd love to include the link to the stdio log, rather than the
build step -- I could cheat by just appending '/0', but is there a better
way to do that?
