Actually, it does happen that when you change log_directory on a reload,
stuff takes an uneven amount of time to "cut over"; that is, there's a
few seconds while you're writing to both logs at once. Materially,
though, this isn't a serious operational issue (the logs are known to be
asynchronous), so beyond confusing newbies, it's not something we'd want
to fix.
