Is that perhaps the very first call to weston_log()?

You need to initialize the logging mechanism before anything can call
weston_log(). Yeah, it's awkward, could probably be improved, but OTOH
one would always want all log messages going to the same place, so you
really do want to initialize the logging before any logging happens to
avoid losing messages.

The crucial call to make is weston_log_set_handler() with non-NULL
arguments before any other libweston calls.
