This is exactly why we added the rule tracing feature to liblouis some time
ago. Unfortunately it's not documented anywhere, and it's not in the public
API. So far it's only being used in a little Java tool I wrote. it would be
great if somebody would find the time to integrate this feature in one of the
developer tools (e.g. lou_debug).
