I'm currently using Hardy and I can still reproduce it. You should be
able to test easily with these steps:

As root, run this (or edit syslog.conf accordingly):

# echo -e "\t*.*\t\t\t/var/log/everything.log" >>/etc/syslog.conf


Run:

$ /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles --weekly

Is the command returns *.* as a log file then the problem is still
present.

This is pretty nasty because this cause hard to catch problems and the
root cause is not evident either. This is very likely an error in the
regexp syslogd-listfiles use but I haven't looked at it yet.
