I've noticed this too. Could it be that following the first step in the Failure Steps the name is reset? A work around would be to have the first step save the step name to a macro.
Most of my failure processing sends email. I send the log file for the build as an attachment to the email.
Another trick I find useful is to use a global macro to override the system LOGFILE macro with:
%LogFilePath%%PROJROOT%Log.txt
so that log files are generated for each different build project. Helps a lot when a master build project invokes others.
I also often use %PROJROOT% in the body of the email so I know which build project generated the email.
