When I Google "Persistent configuration file is in invalid format" (with quotes) I get no hits whatsoever, so this must be a recent thing...

"Persistent configuration file is in invalid format, ignoring;"

If you do this:
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng pause
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng start

does the error fly away ?

I'm having the same "problem" with this.

...
Correction, I HAD the same problem when running "syslog-ng restart"

But now after doing a syslog-ng stop && syslog-ng start, the problem
is gone. .. All works fine =)

When the system boots up, the error gets displayed... when I stop and start syslog-ng, the error is still there but when I pause and start it, it is gone. Really strange.

syslog-ng increase syslog-ng.persist internal version flag.
After first re-load it is fixed/updated.
So no worry.
