http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxMainModule#error_log seems to suggest that
you'll have this problem since 0.7.53. Does that fit in with the
timeline of your "something [...] has changed", above?

If so, "known issue".

If not, something else may have changed - perhaps the order in which
the -g/-c parameters are examined (a complete guess, of course) - and
you should continue shouting about it :-)
