This has been fixed with:

rsyslog (8.14.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Remove logging to /dev/xconsole from the default rsyslog configuration.
    It is a rarely used feature and causes rsyslog to repeatedly retry if
    there is noone reading from /dev/xconsole. Instead ship the configuration
    as example files and add instructions to README.Debian how one can
    re-enable support for xconsole. (Closes: #745492, #783687)
  * Remove section about sysklogd from README.Debian, sysklogd is not really
    relevant anymore nowadays.
  * Ship an example file for logging to the console on tty8 which can be
    dropped into /etc/rsyslog.d instead of having it as comment in
    /etc/rsyslog.conf.

Title:
  rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Fix Released
Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rsyslog

  Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.

  This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:

  create_xconsole() {
          if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
          then
                  mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
                  chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
                  [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
          fi
  }

  I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it should be re
  moved from the config.

  rsyslog:
    Installed: 4.2.0-2ubuntu5
