Scott, In svn, barh does accept the 'log' kwarg via **kwargs, and your example works correctly. Here is the relevant CHANGELOG entry, after 0.90 was released:
2007-03-03 Change barh to take a kwargs dict and pass it to bar. Fixes sf bug #1669506. I think it was just a matter of changing the barh signature to: def barh(self, bottom, width, height=0.8, left=None, **kwargs): but I haven't looked back at the svn records to check that.
