The generation of STATS lines isn't the problem. It's their
destination. How to keep 'em out of /var/log/messages?

Whups! Sorry!
I think something like:
destination syslog { file(/var/log/syslog); };
filter f_sysl-ng { program(syslog-ng); };
log { source(src); filter(f_sysl-ng); destination(syslog); flags(final); };
Should get it. You'll obviously need to juggle this with your other filters.
HTH,
