The problem seems to be in both the kernel and the driver.  '<' at the
beginning of a line means the beginning of an encoded priority, so
drivers shouldn't use '<<<' to ornate messages.  Encoded priorities have
the form '<'{<digit>}'>', so "<<< Message >>>" is a syntax error.
syslogd's parsing of encoding priorities is a little sloppy.  I think
it inteprets '<'<non-digit> as priority 0 and discards the first '<'.
Priority 0 == LOG_EMERG is a little different from the default kernel
priority of DEVSPRI = LOG_KERN | LOG_CRIT == LOG_CRIT.

Removing the newline accidentally avoids the problem by misformatting
"<<<" to not start on a new line.
