By the way, the method I was using turned out to give problems.  Since 
.doit() returned the sympy log, I ended up having two different version of 
log in later expressions (depending on whether or not .doit() had been 
called), leading to strange results.

I found a better solution, simply setting _should_evalf to false.

from sympy import log as sympy_log
class log(sympy_log):
    @classmethod
    def _should_evalf(cls, arg):
        return -1
