To solve the immediate problem you can also just apply this
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/commit/f6000c70fb6f04fbe38761bb22777070a56eb471.patch
which solves the issue.

I tried to create a debdiff but the package doesn't build currently, I
think because of the recent security patch.

Title:
  Limiting queue disk space does not work, upgrade needed

Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  # lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:        14.04
  # apt-cache policy rsyslog
  rsyslog:
    Installed: 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.3
    Candidate: 7.4.4-1ubuntu2.3
    Version table:
   [...]

  When rsyslog is run with a config to save/cache log to disk, e.g when the host that
  it is forwarding log to is not responding, it fails to respect the
  maxdiskspace parameter. This is a known bug and 7.4.7 of v7-stable has
  been released to fix this, see http://www.rsyslog.com/changelog-for-7-4-7-v7-stable/

  
  Config for testing:

  global(
    workDirectory="/tmp"
  )

  module(load="imudp")
  module(load="omrelp")

  input(type="imudp"
    port="514"
  )

  action(type="omrelp"
    target="localhost"
    port="2514"
    action.resumeRetryCount="-1"
    queue.saveonshutdown="on"
    queue.type="LinkedList"
    queue.filename="omrelp"

    queue.maxfilesize="100M"
    queue.maxdiskspace="1M"

    queue.checkpointinterval="100"
    queue.highwatermark="10"
  )

  Then just log more than 1MB of messages to UDP to see that it doesn't
  stop at 1MB but just continues forever.

  Please upgrade the package to 7.4.7.
