Fedora 14=>16 Logrotate, Systemctl, Httpd, SSL problem

People,

I have upgraded my server from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16 (x86_64) - most 
things are going again happily but there are a few remaining problems - 
the main one at the moment involves Logrotate, Systemctl, Httpd and SSL. 
My logrotate.conf is set up for daily rotations so I get old logs like:

   /var/log/httpd/access_log-20120202

but, presumably because of the changes from "service" to "systemctl" 
and a problem with restarting httpd and not entering a password at the 
tty prompt, logged data continues to be sent to the old, rotated file 
ie:

   /var/log/httpd/access_log-20120202

instead of:

   /var/log/httpd/access_log

It looks like this was a known issue with the introduction of Fedora 15 
and that it should have been fixed:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707917

- but it doesn't appear to be in my case - is there something I am 
missing?

Thanks,

Phil.
