The Ubuntu Stable Release Update process requires a test case, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, if you provide one I'll be happy to upload the fix.

Test case

Step 1:

Create a rsyslog-config using gtls:

/etc/rsyslog.d/10-tlstest.conf

Step 2:

To generate the needed ca-, key-, cert-files, follow the guide at http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/tutorials/tls.html#certificates

Step 3:

Setup a client, which relays logs to the server that was just set up

Step 4:

Check the rsyslog-log for the errors mentioned in the initial post.

This actually seems to affect all supported releases of Ubuntu as rsyslog hasn't been updated since the 8.16 release in early 2016.
