Further to resolving the problem, on one system I ran

logrotate --debug /etc/logrotate.conf

And discovered that /etc/logrotate.d/inetutils-syslogd was also being 
loaded. It had duplicates of many entries in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog

I have no idea why inetutils did this. I recall inetutils also did some 
other bad stuff I had to disable.

All I wanted was ping but I got a world of hurt as well!
