I'm guessing, but the log file will only be written to if it already exists.
If it doesn't, then nothing happens.
The fresh install of 2.2.2 probably created an empty log file, which then
filled up. Your upgrade didn't.
Of course, this doesn't solve the problem for anyone else, but it does
explain why it happened.
