After all, a later subclass could take as its logger argument either a Logger or a logspec, which can be used to build an appropriate logger. All of a sudden your assertion about the logger argument is incorrect.
In which case, I would change it.
Yick! I hate having to deal with dependent changes like that.

Shall we agree to differ?

    To me it's not a "bad" dependent change. A documented (in code) design/implementation decision was incorrect. It needs to be fixed.

    Having these decisions explicit makes it easier (for me) to spot when they wrong.

    Shall we agree to differ?

    Okay doke :-)
