Sure, that has been my experience, but the error message was very clear.Unfortunately I did not capture the error
beforeI changed the order 
and the log file was removed on the next run.

Since I have no easy way to reproduce it I'm not sure it's worth
submitting as a bug.  However, I thought a reorder of the packages in
our docs couldn't hurt, and might help.
