get_instance() NULL when extending CI_Log - awalls - 02-23-2016

I recently upgrading by CI2 application to use CI3 (currently 3.0.3). In my CI2 code I had extended the CI_Log core class with my own MY_Log class located under application/core. This worked fine in CI2 but since the upgrade to CI3 get_instance() using in my extended class always returns NULL.

PHP Code:
$CI =& get_instance(); 

Has something changed in the way extended core class get loaded?

UPDATE: Just to add some more context to this, this happens when CI runs into a 404 error.
