The version 3.13.2-5 was installed 25 Oct, and according to boot logs
previous version was free from this bug. As far as I understand
contents of /var/log/dpkg.log, those lines
2018-10-25 13:06:19 status half-installed syslog-ng:all 3.13.2-4.1
2018-10-25 13:06:20 status unpacked syslog-ng:all 3.13.2-5
mean that version 3.13.2-4.1 was upgraded to 3.13.2-5.
