On My machine, syslogd(8) creates /var/run/syslogd.pid.

From syslogd.c, syslogd(8) creates /var/run/syslogd.pid using
pidfile(3) in libutil with NULL argument and pidfile(3) decide pid
file's name with getprogname(3) (__progname previously).

I think that your syslogd(8) seems to out of date.  Dose your
syslogd(8) is really newest?
