I ran into this as well and spent two days tracking down the issue. For me I was using ActiveRecord outside of Rails, and doing a

ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDERR)

got me past the error, so now I'll just make sure we're actually handling logging in my app.

I think this is already fixed in branches, for instance 3-2 af02291 and master b5c939d.
