short example to reproduce the error

If you follow a directory via

journalctl --directory /some/directory/ -f

and then a journal file is rotated, for some reason this file doesn't get
followed properly.

Other, nonrotated files however are followed fine.

See the attached file for an example which should make the case more clear.

I reported something similar some weeks ago, but the example wasn't as good:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89764

89764 can be closed if this gets closed, I think.
