I think I see a misunderstanding here.

This particular case of writing to the console is on purpose. It is 
used when there is no X session recognized and the console is the only 
way to notify the user of the event. Note: notification, not logging. 
It is a console version of the notification area baloon in a typical 
graphical desktop environment.
