I don't really understand you here. syslog-ng fails to open /dev/log as
creating a socket is a write operation. 

Try ktrace-ing the original syslogd to see what it does to create its
socket. Maybe it creates /var/run/log and /dev/log is a symlink to
/var/run/log ?

I'm Ccing you to the syslog-ng list, they might have an answer ready for
you.
