Rotate the log weekly.
Thanks for your suggestion, but you missed the part where I explicitly referenced /var/run, and not /var/log. And I wasn't talking about rotating files, but removing them, since what I suspected was happening is that something was removing syslog's pid file in /var/run. I explained that in the very first paragraph that you quoted, above.
But, anyway, I eventually figured out – and as I noted elsewhere in this thread – that was I was recalling was the configuration in /etc/tmpfiles.d
It's the little details, like that, that matter a great deal…
