I don't have an answer for your specific problem but just wanted to suggest an 
alternative solution. Have you looked at sysutils/cronolog? Instead of relying 
on logrotate and restarting the apache process you simply pipe the logs to 
cronolog which splits them according to a pattern you define. Apache will run 
uninterrupted and logrotate won't be used at all.

Snippets from my own conf files that splits the logfiles per year-month (note 
the pipe sign):

ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/log/apache24/httpd-error.%Y%m.default.log"
CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog 
/var/log/apache24/httpd-access.%Y%m.default.log" combinedio
