By anti-functional, do you mean that it causes confusion when handling the
log files after they've been created?

I don't think having the node # in the name is bad, I just think that's
a bad place for it.  I would recommend:

slony1_log_00000000000000000115_node_2.sql

Which keeps the node information in the name, makes it more apparent
what it is, and allows shell tools to sort the files correctly.

Good?  Bad?  Better ideas?
