Works for me. Did you change postgresql.conf? Here's what mine looks like.

#
#       Syslog
#
# requires ENABLE_SYSLOG
syslog = 1                      # range 0-2
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'

 From the online docs:
SYSLOG (integer)

     PostgreSQL allows the use of syslog for logging. If this option is
set to 1, messages go both to syslog and the standard output. A setting
of 2 sends output only to syslog. (Some messages will still go to the
standard output/error.) The default is 0, which means syslog is off.
This option must be set at server start.

     To use syslog, the build of PostgreSQL must be configured with the
--enable-syslog option.
