that's not so easy I guess.

I found a few occurrences where that issue occurred and the order of the
log entries in the drawer was out of order, like this:

   :LOGBOOK:
   - State "DONE"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-19 Wed 10:08]
   - State "DONE"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-15 Sat 09:17]
   - State "OPEN"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-15 Sat 09:16]
   - State "DONE"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-07 Fri 12:58]
   :LOGBOOK:
   - State "OPEN"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-19 Wed 10:07]
   - State "OPEN"       from "OPEN"       [2016-10-07 Fri 12:58]
   :END:
   - State "DONE"       from "OPEN"       [2016-09-29 Thu 10:35]
   ...
   :END:

Judging from the time stamps all tasks suffering from the issue got
defective at the some day. But most of the time the order of the entries
is still correct, so I can't really say if the issue happened at a
certain point in time or gradually.

The git version from october. But I observed that issue with earlier
versions as well. I've upgraded from git now, let's see what happens.

It's set to t.
