According to ls it is mounted 755, that is what was confusing me:
reiner@weather:/var$ ls -ld /var/log
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Feb 22 06:25 /var/log
Thats why I think the error message is wrong. Am I missing something?

This is correct and secure behaviour. It prevents a possible symlink
attack by a hostile. The /var/log directory should not have either
0777 or 01777 permissions.
I suggest you mount your /var/log tmpfs with the mode=0755 option.
