Description
dmesg shows stub system call 375 when this happens.
Both syslog-ng and rsyslog start fine from Open RC with the modifications to inttab identified in the wiki article I wrote, but programs such as ssh fail to complete when they attempt to log.
To reproduce:
o "fix" OpenRC via an inittab modification
o apk add syslog-ng syslog-ng-openrc openssh
o Generate host keys 'ssh-keygen -A'
o /usr/sbin/sshd
adduser ish
passwd ish
ssh -vvv ish@localhost -p 1022

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the listed OpenRC, syslog-ng, sshd, and ssh commands, then inspect the dmesg report for stub system call 375. Trace the syscall handling involved in logging and confirm that ssh and other logging programs complete without wedging.
