I can confirm his (on Debian unstable) and already notified Rainer
about this particular issue.
Some preliminary testing here seems to indicate it's an issue with pipes.

When I removed
daemon.*;mail.*;\
 news.err;\
 *.=debug;*.=info;\
 *.=notice;*.=warn      |/dev/xconsole

from my rsyslog.conf, I could no longer reproduce the problem.

Would be interesting to know, if you can confirm this.

Cheers,
Michael
