I think I see what's going on. The log_min_messages is set to the
default value of warning. Which is a higher level than "LOG" so this
code in jsonlog.c is ignoring these messages:
if (edata->elevel < log_min_messages)
return;
But the normal processing for logs uses is_log_level_output to compare
error levels with log_min_messages which treats LOG (and
LOG_SERVER_ONLY) as logically equivalent to ERROR:
/*
* is_log_level_output -- is elevel logically >= log_min_level?
*
* We use this for tests that should consider LOG to sort out-of-order,
* between ERROR and FATAL. Generally this is the right thing for testing
* whether a message should go to the postmaster log, whereas a simple >=
* test is correct for testing whether the message should go to the client.
