This issue may already have been fixed (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1434 ). The fix will be in the upcoming 2.6.2 release.
Can you verify if the problem still occurs with the current Log4j code in git master? Instructions on how to check out the latest source are here <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/source-repository.html>. After that you can build the binaries with the command mvn clean install (Or mvn -DskipTests=true clean install if you are in a hurry.)
