Enterprise Library 4.1 logging does not write to the error receiver when a file is unavailable

Question

We have an Enterprise Library 4.1 logbook configured to write to the event log when regular logging fails. This works fine when logging is configured incorrectly (for example, an invalid character in the listName attribute of listName), but nothing is written to the event log when the configured file cannot be written due to invalid permissions.

FWIW here is the configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="loggingConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
  </configSections>

    </formatters>

Has anyone solved this?
