I've just tried to send a 5000 byte message to syslog-ng and it
correctly wrote MSGONLY to the file. Tried the same using logger and it
did not work:

write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431
readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
time([1144831342])                      = 1144831342
write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431
readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
time([1144831342])                      = 1144831342
write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431
readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
time([1144831342])                      = 1144831342
write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431
read(0, "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"..., 4096) = 905
readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "pipe:[69597]", 511) = 12
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe878) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
time([1144831342])                      = 1144831342
write(3, "<5>Apr 12 10:42:22 <someone>: xx"..., 431) = 431

strace shows that logger writes 431 bytes to syslog-ng, so the problem is 
in logger.
