I added a log option and the contents are just what the screencap shows:
compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core
compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: core
compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) - Info: Stopping plugin: core
compiz (core) - Info: Unloading plugin: core

The syslog contains these entries at the very end which may or may not be useful:

Nov 13 20:26:20 nexus7-265143b8 gnome-session[879]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal 9
