OK, I *might* consider the patch, but it's likely useless if you restart 
rsyslogd after dhcpcd has started.

When dhcpcd starts and it can enable privsep, it (amongst other things) binds 
/dev to /var/chroot/dhcpcd/dev (depends on where the chroot is, but you get the 
idea).
Now, the 00-linux hook script handles this ..... and this should include the 
syslog socket, /dev/log.
Can you verify it's there and working please?
