I have the same problem. I now use the line with 'udp' and strace shows
a stream connection.

gettimeofday({1310997069, 22086}, NULL) = 0
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 5
fcntl64(5, F_GETFL)                     = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fcntl64(5, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)  = 0
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/dev/log"}, 110) = -1 EPROTOTYPE
(Protocol wrong type for socket)
shutdown(5, 2 /* send and receive */)   = 0
close(5)                                = 0

BTW, monit is configured to use syslog. There it connects correctly. ;-)

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/dev/log"}, 110) = 0
send(3, "<14>Jul 18 13:51:08 monit[28975]"..., 74, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 74
