There's a bit of discussion on the Writing actions handbook page. The code presented there is actually out of sync now with http://api.drupal.org/api/function/user_block_user_action.

The problem is that $user->name will only be set if we are working with the global $user. Otherwise the watchdog message will just be Blocked user .

This affects 7.x and 6.x.

I'm not sure why this is failing now, the patch still runs against a freshly checked out HEAD, will investigate some more.

Oops, rerolled the D6 patch with #330090 in mind. Disregard last one.

It looks like this is fixed by the following change in drupal-7 for #721086: Create tests for system actions, clean up token replacement, clean up triggers:

--- modules/user/user.module
+++ modules/user/user.module
@@ -3401,3 +3403,4 @@
   drupal_session_destroy_uid($uid);
-  watchdog('action', 'Blocked user %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));
+  $account = user_load($uid);
+  watchdog('action', 'Blocked user %name.', array('%name' => $account->name));
 }
