Looks like Paul knew the first item in RELEASE_NOTES could apply to
your case:

INCOMPATIBILITY with 2.3.1 and earlier versions:

If running amavisd daemon in chroot please note:

  Each child process now opens its own syslog connection or a file descriptor
  to a log file, and no longer inherits a connection from its parent.
  When running in chroot jail and logging to syslog, the syslog client
  routines need syslogd socket to be present in the chroot subtree to be
  able to establish a connection with syslogd, otherwise logging output
  may be lost. Additional syslogd sockets (to be made available in the
  jail) may be requested from the syslogd daemon, see its documentation.
  This requirement is equivalent to the requirement of chrooted Postfix
  services (see Postfix documentation file BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README).

Also:

- reopen log file or syslog connection in each child process to make it use
  its own file descriptor; also minimizes transients when syslogd is restarted
  and its socket re-created, as reported by Les Ault. When running in chroot
  please make sure the syslogd socket is also available in the chroot jail;
