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.
