=>Anyone got any ideas where to start looking?

Sounds quite a rare situation, unless there is a file that you've moved
around while adapting it to each machine - and that file could be having a
small issue within. I'm thinking of a situation where you do not want to
manually edit your syslog.conf for every individual machine and so just
copy one syslog.conf from machine A into machines B and C, which then end
up inheriting the small typo in syslog.conf.

You could start from there but that's a guess.
