I tried some more things and I found that using this triggers the bug:

log4j.logger.com.company.log4jtest.testpackage=FATAL
log4j.logger.com.company=INFO

However, adding an extra line makes the bug go away:

log4j.logger.com.company.log4jtest.testpackage=FATAL
# Add this line as workaround
log4j.logger.com.company.log4jtest=INFO
log4j.logger.com.company=INFO
