[syslog-ng] No "-n" switch for syslog-ng?

I've been getting many "syslog-ng.service start request repeated too
quickly..."
issues in systemd journal .
The syslog-ng service would always fail.
I noticed there seems to be a bug in which systemd executes syslog-ng with
the "-n" flag.

I recently posted the bug here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61324

After modifying lib/gprocess.c to accept "-n" in place of "-F",
recompiling, and reinstalling, the problem has disappeared and the syslog-ng
process remains up.

Is this a systemd bug?

I have been googling for 2 days to see if it relates to any other bugs and
have found nothing. I just started using systemd 4 days ago and its my
impression that syslog-ng has supported systemd for some time. So, could
there be something on my end causing the issue?
