Apparently that's not the default behavior for log4net. You could do
something like this to ensure a log4net writes to the Console:
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
if (LogManager.GetRepository().GetAppenders().Length == 0)
{
ConsoleAppender consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
consoleAppender.Layout = new SimpleLayout();
BasicConfigurator.Configure(consoleAppender);
}
