Something similar was discussed recently.

The problem with setting a logminsize based on the template size is
that in some cases (not in yours) the template will consist of
boilerplate which requires the irrelevant sections to be deleted, so
the final log message size may actually be smaller than the template.

One idea which occurs to me is that if the logminsize property is set
to 0, simply require that some change is made to the message. It's not
perfect, but it might help.
