I guess that I've identified the offending part of the code. However i don't know why it didn't work. Mainly it is described in the bug wrt OpenBSD `-a' feature. After disabling that one syslogd runs perfectly on my loghost again, and there are lots of messages through syslog, so I guess it works again. I'll upload it later.
