Comment (by MaKoTor):

 Found versions which seem NOT AFFECTED:

 0.2.9.14-1ubuntu1~16.04.3
 0.4.1.5-1~xenial+1

 Since 0.4.2.7-1~xenial+1 IS affected (see above), a change somewhere
 between

 0.4.1.5
 and
 0.4.2.7

 is most likely the culprit. Will try to test tor-0.4.3.4-rc to see if the
 bug is gone, ./src/lib/log/log.c seems to be under heavy development right
 now.

 It's also not log-rotation specific, 0.4.2.7 just doesn't close the log
 files on HUP.
