The reason for moving this from cloudinit/__init__.py was that it was running too late there. The cloudinit.parsed_cfgs variable was already filled by cloud-init.py's reading of cloud config. I'm sure I had done this so that it would not have to re-parse configs. I think the right way to handle this is to move that logic back to cloudinit/__init__.py and add some function like 'reread_configs()' that would re-read all releavent cofnigs and re-setup logging. That seemed more error prone at the moment, with limited time.
