Seeing this late, let me give an answer which everybody now is surely aware of. The answer is yes for every positive a,b >0$a,b >0$. The reason is that log Beta (a,b)$\log\operatorname{Beta}(a,b)$ is infinitely divisible additively so that B(a,b)$B(a,b)$ is infinitely divisible multiplicatively. To see the ID property for the log$\log$, compute the Mellin transform with the Gamma function (as suggested above) and apply the Malmsten formula for the latter, which is in this case a Lévy-Khintchine formula.
