Hi,

just a shot in the dark:

m0n0wall is sending the syslog packets from its WAN IP address. It knows 
the network of your syslog server by its default route and so the 
packets never match your IPSec tunnel configuration.

To verify you could add a filter rule for syslog on the wan interface 
with logging enabled.
