No, I don't think its bootlogd. According to /etc/rcS.d/S02mountkernfs.sh
it is possible for /var/run to be mounted on tmpfs (and it would 
become writeable before the udev is run in that case) by setting 
RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS. Can you post the output of 'mount' on 
your machine?

Best regards,
