AFAIK, rules get rewritten first, before triggers are invoked,
so your rules are getting the values before your trigger changes them.

Either somehow rewrite your trigger as a rule, or stick another
trigger to change the value before getting into your log table.
You might be able to reuse your trigger function, I think, just
point the trigger to that function. A bit inefficient, since it
gets called twice.
