The ChangeLog entry says:

32. log_message in a "warn" ACL statement was writing to the reject log as
    well as to the main log, which contradicts the documentation and doesn't
    seem right (because no rejection is happening). So I have stopped it.


I still think this was the right change.

In the next release there is a new ACL modifier called "logwrite" which
writes a log line as soon as it is encountered (i.e. it doesn't wait to
see if rejection is about to happen). It has a feature that allows you
to control which log (main, reject, panic) it writes to. I think you
should be able to make it do what you want.
