Wow, that's a new one... I haven't used Rails in years, but it's
certainly not intentional behavior on the part of unicorn.
Hopefully somebody else with Rails knowledge can chime in.
Some questions:
Do you have anything which overrides USR1?
Are the logs getting rotated correctly?

OK, that looks right.
Do your logs show the log rotations as they're happening, at least?
Anything else pop up in the logs which might help us figure out
what's wrong? (for example, do you have dying workers)

Can you try omitting preload_app and see if you can reproduce
the problem? The big reason preload_app is `false' by default
is it could break some code...
And probably use only 1 worker to avoid memory
overhead/excessive log spew during debugging.

If log rotations (via USR1) fails (e.g. due to permission
error), the workers die and get replaced, instead. This allows
the log files to be released and rotated in "brute force"
fashion...
Can you reproduce the problem by sending a QUIT, TERM, or KILL
signal directly to a worker process? (Also, note the time
interval between initial master startup and your test)
A later-spawned worker could behave differently/strangely
from an originally-spawned one...
Finally, can you reproduce your original problem by sending USR1
to the master immediately after a fresh start?
With logrotate (which only runs intermittently), the problem
could be manifesting from an app timeout or time skew of some
sort interacting poorly with preload_app and respawned workers.

This is why I gave the time skew/timeout hypothesis above.
Otherwise; I'm out of ideas, for now (and falling asleep).
Hoping somebody more awake with modern Rails knowledge can chime
in and help with things I'm missing.
Again; one of the first unicorn-specific steps for
troubleshooting is to disable preload_app and use a single
worker process which you can trace more easily.
