Seems your dmesg needs to be fixed to recognize full syslog prefixes. Userspace uses proper facility values now, for dmesg, syslog, the admin, to be able to properly distinguish kernel messages from userspace-injected ones. Udev, and a few other common early-boot tools which write to the kernel buffer added such facility value. For udev it's LOG_DAEMON which is 3, the log level is 6, so the prefix <30> is (3*8)+6.
