The problem is rsyslog hangs during the boot sequence. If you kill -9 (kill alone won't kill it), then try /etc/init.d/rsyslog start it works. Further restarts also work.
V7 doesn't have this issue. This with the stock rsyslog config as well.

Am I correct in understanding that the problem is that when you restart rsyslog it hangs, but then if you manually kill rsyslog and start it again everything is good? If so, try inserting a short sleep in your restart script between the shutdown and restart. It could be that the script isn't giving rsyslog time to exit cleanly before it start the new version, but since it's capturing the output from the script you can't tell that it's prompting you for input.
