I have a fairly standard Apache 2.0.47 install on Linux. It starts as
root and then switches to user 'nobody', however the logs are still
written as owned by the user 'root'

Well, afaik that's the default behaviour since a file-write is not considered to be dangerous. If you consider cronolog as a security risk, you may be abled to execute it by replacing "| cronolog" with "| sudo -u nobody cronolog" in the config-files.
