Hmm, well I've found the reason. It was basically an artifact from the b20->rc4 migration. I was creating a new LogService with the desired names and doing component.setLogService(myLogService), but apparently the default log service had some special set up that the new one didn't that allowed calls to be sent to the accesslog.
If you want to set it up that way, that's fine, I just think that the documentation should give some warning to people who think, like I did, that they could just swap out the LogService object at will.
