Closing this as it doesn't appear to be an issue for me now.

I also had this issue! I think the cause was that somehow I had an old file hanging around at definitions/logrotate_app.rb, and logrotate_app was running that version instead of the version in resources/app.rb. Not sure how that happened but maybe this is helpful for anybody else who finds this.
