The current implementation was written with an expectation of working rename functionality in the stdlib. As such, while this issue might be categorised as being of type "enhancement", I don't see how you can categorise it as being of type "behaviour".

What's the problem with subclassing the relevant handlers to implement your own doRollover() method? You only need to do that once for all the projects in your QNX environment. Given that it's not a mainstream environment, that's not IMO an unreasonable suggestion.

If you publish such a handler, I'll mention it on

http://plumberjack.blogspot.co.uk/p/handlers-for-logging.html

which has a whole bunch of handlers written by people for specific requirements which don't warrant adding functionality directly in the stdlib.
