[Zope] bug in zeo runner in Zope 2.8.6 ?

When I run "zeoctl start" having "user zope" (where zope is an
unprivileged user) directive in zeo.conf on a virgin instance directory,
at first log/zeo.log file with root owner is created, then the process
drops its privileges and timeouts, since it is not able to re-open the
logfile.

The problem is not imminent when starting ZEO like this:  su zope
bin/runzeo. That's because there is no chance of creating the logfile as
root.

I don't know whether this is already fixed in later stable versions, but
since 2.8.6 is still a recommended one for at least Plone and maybe
there are another fools like me who want to run ZEO unprivileged using
zeoctl, I'm reporting it. :)
