Is this documented somewhere? in some obscure small type?

You may have resolved the issue, but I'm highly skeptical that

Cannot open file "/var/log/secure": [13] Permission denied

was caused by anything to do with the hostname.

Are you certain it wasn't resolved by something else you did at around the same time? Perhaps you restarted zabbix_agentd for the first time after granting the zabbix user access to the file?
