I switched to a workaround for the time being which you might use as well in a similar way:

#) configure fail2ban to use /var/log/faillog
#) run something like that in the background:

	nohup tail -q -F /var/log/fail2ban.log | logger -t fail2ban.filter -p daemon.notice &

#) to let this workaround survive a reboot you need to use a script fired up from /etc/rc.d
