I think Greg Egan has done the best "message within pi" trick so far in
_Diaspora_. The message of the Transmuters is both obvious (in a way),
informative and suggests a way out of the system. I think I will use
something similar when I start creating universes - give the inhabitants
a chance to get out if they poke deep enough.
