What's the UID of that user? Maybe something messed up with your passwd file?
The permission change is forcibly applied, I don't see why it could break, and
even if, that would be root:root, not some weirduser:weirdgroup.

Fixing the user and group ownership fixes the problem:
% ls -ld /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/

/var/log/apt-cacher-ng//
