Changing logging handler in standalone.xml only breaks startup of JBoss AS7

Using an unmodified build of JBoss AS 8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT as of today.
Starting with --server-config=standalone-full.xml is fine.
I made a copy of standalone-full.xml as standalone-langfr.xml and replaced the periodic-rotating-file-handler by a size-rotating-file-handler:
<size-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="false">
<level name="DEBUG"/>
<encoding value="UTF-8"/>
<formatter>
<pattern-formatter pattern="%d

%-5p [%c] (%t) %s%E%n"/>
</formatter>
<file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
<rotate-size value="1g"/>
<append value="true"/>
</size-rotating-file-handler>

jboss@sb2000:/jboss/8.0/standalone/configuration diff -bw standalone-full.xml standalone-langfr.xml
68c68,70
< <periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">

> <size-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="false">

> <encoding value="UTF-8"/>

< <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
—
> <rotate-size value="1g"/>

< </periodic-rotating-file-handler>
—
> </size-rotating-file-handler>

Trying to start the server with this config fails:

This seem to be cause by the fact, that logging.properties is outdated and does not get updated on start.
In logging.properties there still is the old config:
handler.FILE=org.jboss.logmanager.handlers.PeriodicRotatingFileHandler
handler.FILE.level=ALL
handler.FILE.formatter=FILE
handler.FILE.properties=autoFlush,append,fileName,suffix,enabled
handler.FILE.constructorProperties=fileName,append
handler.FILE.autoFlush=true
handler.FILE.append=true
handler.FILE.fileName=/mbi/tools/jboss/8.0/standalone/log/server.log
handler.FILE.suffix=.yyyy-MM-dd
handler.FILE.enabled=true

An now the is some mixture in place which causes this failure.

When changing the logging handler via web-console or possibly also when using jboss-cli both files are changed, standalone.xml and logging.properties.

I think on startup logging.properties should be newly created by what's defined in the current config file.
