The fix looks fine. The WeakReference and System.gc() call was to help reproduce the test failure. I wonder if it's really needed to be retained in the test (or better to remove it).
There has been a few test failures due to this eager GC issue running in -server -Xcomp mode (I guess they are from the hotspot nightly testing). It might worth to run all logging tests with -server -Xcomp to find out if all test failures due to this issue are reported and fix them all together.
