This is not an Upstart issue:

- Upstart in Ubuntu provides a logrotate script that is run to compress session 
logs in  ~/.cache/upstart/. So, by removing logrotate you have broken that 
facility.
- Upstart is correctly capturing the seemingly huge amount of data generated by 
these applications, so the problem lies with them.

However, in a sense your removing logrotate is good in that it has drawn
attention to the problems with mediascanner and unity-panel-service.

I would encourage you to reinstall logrotate if possible.
