Is there anyone who actually needs this feature nowdays?
I understand that if we offer it, it really should work, but if it's non-trivial
to fix would the better option possibly be to just mark it as "oops it's broken"
and drop it entirely?

Did you send a different message?
First I run syslog_caller without modifications, so the messages are
different due to the used $i variable.
But I also changed
syslog(sev % 8, "test message nbr %d, severity=%d", i, sev % 8);
into
syslog(sev % 8, "test message nbr");
The changed message was reduced (only one message was logged to disk),
but as said, there was no "last message repeated N times" message I also
expected to see.
Yeah, I meant if you send one different message to /dev/log after that
test. Because a message that's different is (traditionally) the trigger to
output that "last message repeated n times" message. If it is always the
same, it keeps counting.
Yup.
rsyslog is v7.6.3.
