FWIW, I once stumbled on this problem, and solved it by making my own log handler that uses functions from the syslog module.

@Petri: It's great that it worked for you, but IIRC the syslog module has had thread-safety issues at least on some platforms, which is why it's not used in the SysLogHandler implementation (disclaimer: this was a while ago, I don't know if the syslog module is thread-safe now - I believe the thread-safety issues were in the underlying C APIs).

I am working on a patch, watch this space :-)
