> What else would you want to do with a malformed rule?

Complain about it on stderr. Always.

> If there are other places to log to or rsyslog can write to stderr, it does so.

It doesn't. One needs to run it manually with special options.

> What's your opinion on the proposed solution?

-N is useless. Its noisy and returns exit-code 0 even for a config file with
syntax errors.
