You forgot the restarting of your application.
The file looks binary because of that "copytruncate" at the end. When logrotate
runs, it will truncate the output file to zero size. But since you didn't
restart the application, it will continue writing from the exact byte offset as
it had been before. That means the beginning of the file is composed of NUL
bytes. Hence, binary.
