Comment (by nick.withers):

 In my always-humble opinion (:-P), it's a bit of a mess all round, but
 that's largely because a) the syslog functions in general are broken by
 design (no provision for error) and thus try to do "strange" things to
 proceed (e.g., if you don't supply a valid severity, it might try to use
 the last valid severity, if any, which could be totally wrong) and b)
 because the intended behaviour isn't well documented anywhere (either in
 any kind of standard or in RTEMS itself)
