Thanks for the details Nikolaus; I want to get just a bit more
information.

At this point, what is the ownership and permissions on /var/log/syslog?
After the logrotate command, I can still send messages to syslog with
$ logger -i testing
Note that the -i is necessary to make each subsequent syslog entry different,
because /etc/rsyslogd.conf has
$RepeatedMsgReduction on
by default. Thus if you're testing with just `logger testing` these messages
will get suppressed. I just want to be sure that this isn't tricking you into
thinking that syslog is broken.
I also testing this with a very minimal logrotate.conf file:
-----snip snip-----
weekly
rotate 4
create
/var/log/syslog
{
postrotate
reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
sharedscripts
}
-----snip snip-----
I still can't reproduce your problem. :(
