Thanks for calling me out! It came down to a subtle typo in code:

         if 'log_port' not in self.cmdline:
             option = 'log_post={}'.format(self.rsyslog.port)
             self.logger.info('Adding {} option for rsyslog'
                              .format(option))
             self.cmdline += ' ' + option

note the "log_post" in the code that sets the cmdline argument :)
