Could the problems be prevented by using a PCRE rule to verify the message passes a regex format validity filter before kicking it into the file?

Preventing non-IP-addresses to be entered - yes. However, you still rather would not want any message re-delivered here, because it has a different meaning ("I saw you do that twice!"). I know it's rather theoretical for now as we don't have spurious non-IP-addresses in the logs. Also, the kernel seems to have secret measures to get rid of unwanted messages as well ;) V.
