I upgraded (!) logrotate and all is fine. I installed it a few days ago 
and thought I had the latest version. Shame on me!

$ /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config info for /var/log/httpd-error.log
olddir is now tmp/

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/httpd-error.log       71680 bytes (5 rotations)
olddir is tmp/, empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/httpd-error.log
   log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/httpd-error.log, log->rotateCount is 5
dateext suffix '-20080820'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
glob finding logs to compress failed
glob finding old rotated logs failed
renaming /var/log/httpd-error.log to /var/log/tmp//httpd-error.log-20080820
creating new /var/log/httpd-error.log mode = 0644 uid = 0 gid = 0
running postrotate script
running script with arg /var/log/httpd-error.log        : "
                 /sbin/killall -HUP httpd
