That's not surprising, the messages are cached before writing to disk, so
the most recent messages will be lost. You could try mounting the
filesystem containing /var with sync, which will at least avoid the disk
writes being cached. It's possible that syslog-ng also caches write, in
which case you'll also need to look for an option to prevent that.
