Well one reason would be for OPENSTEP/NT compatibility.

Actually after re-reading:
http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/Reference/

"GSLogSyslog

    Setting the user default GSLogSyslog to YES will cause log/debug
output to be sent to the syslog facility (on systems which support it),
rather than to the standard error stream. This is useful in environments
where stderr has been re-used strangely for some reason.
    On mswindows, where syslog does not exist, this flag instead
controls whether log/debug output is sent to the windows event log."

I would interpret this to mean that the default is not set to be
compatible.  I find this unfortunate but don't feel strongly about it.

It does seem strange that you currently get the logs if this default
isn't set.  Have you tried:

defaults find GSLogSyslog

and check the plist of the application for additional default settings.

I think this is WIP but I believe the goal was the registry.
