Bingo, that's it! In /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf I have found:

source src {
     unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(256));
     internal();
     file("/proc/kmsg");
};

As soon as I removed that "/proc/kmsg" entry, all is working.
Some time ago, I updated syslog-ng and knowing I did not change
anything in its default config, I approved replacing the old
config file with the new one. And that's exactly where I made
mistake, because in original config there was no "/proc/kmsg".

Probably the one who prepared gentoo install template already
modified syslog-ng config according to vserver. In the future
I will have to make all updates more carefully.

Thanks for your help...
