You're not failing to understand anything. The init.d/privoxy script you have is broken. While https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597732 was reported against a different problem, the corrected initscript it contains should fix your problem as well.
It might be worthwhile to report a new bug against privoxy since the failure to do a reload after logrotate is a more serious problem than the one reported in #597732.
Forgot what mailing list I was reading. Sorry. Looks like the same problem as in the Fedora bugzilla, though.
