It looks to me like this change breaks the ability to reference other config properties in the log4j config.
For example, http://burtbeckwith.com/blog/?p=329 uses System.setProperty 'mail.smtp.port', mail.error.port.toString().
With Grails 2.0.1 all logging fails and the tomcat stderr log shows:
log4j:ERROR Property missing when configuring log4j: mail
log4j:ERROR WARNING: Exception occured configuring log4j logging: Cannot get property 'error' on null object
