I presumed that '#' was a comment and ';' was ignored as installing the rsyslog package symlinked /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service when I installed it. Of course I don't seem to be able to duplicate this behaviour by removing and reinstalling it. Now I only get a link under multi-user.target.wants. Argh. Maybe an installation order issue due to previous versions? Anyway, your explanation would make sense as to my concerns. Given this, I presume the imuxsock module might as well not be loaded at all as $OmitLocalLogging on means it won't be listening on any sockets? In my case of wanting to make sure any last kernel messages make it off the machine when it dies, I'm guessing then that I want to imjournal module and enable systemd socket passing which presumably imuxsock picks up on?
