This suggestion worked (in that syslog-ng threw no error).
Is this a regression or a design change?

Description : syslog-ng is an enhanced log daemon, supporting a wide range of input and
: output methods: syslog, unstructured text, message queues, databases (SQL
: and NoSQL alike) and more.
:
: Key features:
:
: * receive and send RFC3164 and RFC5424 style syslog messages
: * work with any kind of unstructured data
: * receive and send JSON formatted messages
: * classify and structure logs with builtin parsers (csv-parser(),
: db-parser(), ...)
: * normalize, crunch and process logs as they flow through the system
: * hand on messages for further processing using message queues (like
: AMQP), files or databases (like PostgreSQL or MongoDB).
