You've evidently done "ALTER USER postgres SET log_min_messages=panic",
so the lack of any messages under that userid is unsurprising. But
we're not a lot closer to being sure why it's different for the
procedures' normal execution environment.

At this point it's hard to avoid the conclusion that those procedures'
session is changing the value itself. (This is scary, because it implies
that you're running those as superuser, which seems like a bad idea.)
You might have to enable log_statement = all to verify that.
