Try this:

  $ sh
  $ trap '' USR1
  $ sec (cut and paste of command line mentioned above)
  $ kill -USR1 <sec PID>
  $ exit

I have a sneaking suspicion that something in SEC/perl isn't restoring
the signal handler if it's set to ignore in the parent process. What
the sequence above should do it ignore USR1 in the shell. Then you
test the SEC USR1 signal handiling.

SEC uses the $SIG{} array to set the signal handlers, I am not sure if
the POSIX::sigaction stuff operates differently or is $SIG{} is
sigaction under the hood..

That's telling me that USR1 is being ignored somewhere in the process
chain. Can you confirm/deny that USR1 is ignored by the signal
handling in rsyslog?
