I don't see t as a valid value for org-log-done in the customization
menu or docstring and I am not sure how it is interpreted.

Have you tried

M-x customize-variable RET org-log-done RET

and choose one of the values that is offered in the menu.

,----[ C-h v org-log-done RET ]
| org-log-done is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is note
| Original value was nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Information to record when a task moves to the DONE state.
| 
| Possible values are:
| 
| nil     Don't add anything, just change the keyword
| time    Add a time stamp to the task
| note    Prompt for a note and add it with template `org-log-note-headings'
| 
| This option can also be set with on a per-file-basis with
| 
|    #+STARTUP: nologdone
|    #+STARTUP: logdone
|    #+STARTUP: lognotedone
| 
| You can have local logging settings for a subtree by setting the LOGGING
| property to one or more of these keywords.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
