Well, you're setting different things. If I change the 2nd case to
this:

    bro test.bro "Log::default_rotation_interval=20min"

... then it works as well.

In your version, when you set "rotation" it changes that global value,
but at a time when it's old value has already been assigned to
Log::default_rotation_interval. The change will not carry over, as the
assignment doesn't take place again.
