First of all, you would need

   :LOGGING: nologging

this must be one of the standard keywords, it is parsed exactly like  
an in-buffer option.

Secondly, I am internally forcing a log entry when repeating an entry,
with the assumption that you'd always want a log of acting on a  
repeating
task.

Hmmm, maybe a LOGGING property should be honoured also in this case....
