OK good news. It looks like some sort of throttling by rsyslogd. I'm vaguely curious if it's some runaway/annoyed process is dumping a lot of message into the journal, and whether the journal can keep up or if it's also affected and throttles.

Could it be (wild guess), rsyslogd and journald when being used
simultaneously, are having locking issues?

I really doubt it. The current rsyslog is explicitly designed to act as
a journald consumer. That was the intent all along.

How about log-messages on the console?

The symptom I am struggling with is my console is freezing when journald
sent a message to the console.

Some weeks ago, I reported the details on some fp.org list (IRC users@),
but never received a satisfactory reply.
Just found the original post:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2013-December/119352.html

So far, after weeks of
struggling my (so far seeingly working) work-around is to "yum remove
rsyslogd combined with "dmsg -D", without knowing the actual cause.

Hum - seems odd, but I don't get console log messages very often so I
can't say I haven't seen it.

Thanks to this long-term persisting kernel bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769747
I am observing them once per minute at average (This truely nagging bug has been reported on various occasions across probably all distros, but seems to have been ignored so far.)

Certainly sounds like a bug. If I were you
I'd just file it, probably against rsyslog.
Well, to be investigated - I haven't tried journald without "dmsg -D", nor have I tried to reinstall rsyslogd, yet. I am inclined to be believe there is a journald vs. kernel issue, because before journald came around, I haven't had these freezes.
