$ rpm -qf /etc/logrotate.d/httpd 
httpd-2.2.14-1.fc12.i686

=> reassigning to httpd
Comment 2 Tomas Smetana 2010-05-18 12:18:40 UTC 
The "dateext" (yyyymmdd) suffix format is configured in the /etc/logrotate.conf file before the application specific configurations in /etc/logrotate.d directory are being processed.  Therefore if the user runs 'logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/httpd' the system-wide settings are not read and the old log format is being used because it's the hard-coded default.

I wouldn't consider this to be a bug at all.
Comment 3 Joe Orton 2010-05-18 12:22:47 UTC 
I agree with Tomas.
