In theory it could. The ACPI generic error structure used to report includes
a 20-byte free format field which a BIOS could use to describe the location
of the error. Haven't seen anyone do this yet - and our internal BIOS people
looked at me like I was crazy to suggest such a thing. But I still entertain
hopes that some OEM will do the right thing and raise the bar of usefulness.
