Ah, right. It isn't actually the apache logs that get the wrong permissions, 
it is the Berkeley database that Subversion use. That's why I haven't been 
thinking about this before. 

That file is owned by www-data:svn, it doesn't have anything to do with 
root:adm.

Nevertheless, I guess you could be right, it may actually be the postrotate 
that causes it, as Apache2 is restarted. I'll try an see how it goes! :-)
