We are also seeing this problem but with Log4j's DailyRollingFileAppender and 
FileAppender.  It occurs in jdk 1.5.0_11 and jdk1.5.0_13 but not in 
j2sdk1.3.1_20.

Here is a dorky test program to reproduce it:

import org.apache.log4j.FileAppender;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.Priority;
import org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout;
import org.apache.log4j.spi.LoggingEvent;

public class TailBug
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
    {
        final String filename = "tailme";

        FileAppender fa = new FileAppender();
        fa.setName("myappender");
        fa.setFile(filename);
        fa.setLayout(new PatternLayout("%d %m%n"));
        fa.activateOptions();

        writeSomeMessages(fa);

        System.out.println("NOW Start tailing " + filename + "!!!!!\n");
        System.out.println("The logfile will be rotated to in 10 seconds");

        Thread.sleep(10000);

        final String newfilename = "tailme2";

        fa.setFile(newfilename);
        fa.activateOptions();   // Exception will be thrown here

        writeSomeMessages(fa);

        System.out.println("Done!");
    }

    private static void writeSomeMessages(FileAppender fa)
    {
        System.out.println("Logging 5 messages to file " + fa.getFile() 
+ "...\n");
        for( int i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
        {
            fa.append(new LoggingEvent("", Logger.getLogger("log"), 
Priority.WARN, "This is a test message", null));
        }
    }
}
