Apache piped logging doesn't work for errorlogs

Plesk 11, Centos6, all microupdates, x86_64

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
When enabling apache pipe logging al accesslogs are piped through /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/pipelog
But errorlogs are not. This still can give problems with 'too many open files' when having hunderds of vhosts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Enable piped logging:
mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "replace into misc (param,val) values ('apache_pipelog', 'true');"
Rebuild config:
$PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a
Check for open error_log files
lsof | grep error_log

ACTUAL RESULT
httpd 26774 apache 396w REG 202,1 711363 3281418 /var/www/vhosts/..../statistics/logs/error_log

EXPECTED RESULT
pipelog 20041 root 2w REG 202,1 5571760 810509 /var/www/vhosts/..../statistics/logs/error_log

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It should also be possible to pipe the other apache logs like:
/var/log/atmail/access_log
/var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log
