Well, this rings a bell. When you run a chrooted postfix then it
could fall back using /dev/log (or its FreeBSD equivalent) in the
chroot when syslog-ng is restarted. A commonly used workaround on
linux is to create the /var/spool/postfix/dev directory by hand
and add /var/spool/postfix/dev/log to the sources of syslog-ng.

I don't see any problems with your config, although I did only
a quick check.

HTH,

Sandor
