This is not a bug (and you know this, as you set type to "improve requests" :->).
Logs cannot be reliably rotated to another device, but this could be done if some temporary file would be created (log whould be renamed to it in fact).
Proposed solution: tmpdir directive in logrotate.conf, which whould define place for temporary files on /var/log partition.
Other solution (probably even better): move logfile to logfile.tmp (this will work wherever that file is).
