Reloading apache will cause for a log file to stay open, since the process never exited, only re-read the configuration file.
You can either change the logrotate to copytruncate or use different type of logging inside apache configuration (pipe to log program e.g logger).
Third option is to issue an actual restart, not reload, which will force apache the recreate the file after restart, if you can have a bit downtime.
All options have their pros and cons.
Hope that helps

Peasant.
