Global log config and syslog facilities are not respected

While installing the newest HAProxy on Debian 12, I discovered that the default global log configuration was ignored.
Specifically, facilities are ignored, all log messages use the daemon facility.
Setting a specific log format did not help.

• HAProxy version 3.0.0-1~bpo12+1 2024/06/01
• rsyslogd 8.2302.0
• Debian 12.5 bookworm

haproxy.cfg

global
  # default provided config
  # log /dev/log local0
  # log /dev/log local1 notice
  # attempt to force extended log format
  log /dev/log format rfc5424 local0
  log /dev/log format rfc5424 local1 notice
  # untouched config below this line; no backends, no listeners nothing extra added

For many years I’ve been using these rsyslog config that was working:

$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log

if $syslogfacility-text == 'local0' and $programname startswith 'haproxy' then /var/log/haproxy.admin.log
&stop
if $syslogfacility-text == 'local1' and $programname startswith 'haproxy' then /var/log/haproxy.log
&stop

I’ve noticed that apt provides rsyslog config /etc/rsyslog.d/49-haproxy.conf:

$AddUnixListenSocket /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log

:programname, startswith, "haproxy" {
  /var/log/haproxy.log
  stop
}

I decided to enhance it

#$DebugFile /var/log/rsyslog.debug
#$DebugLevel 2

input(
  type="imuxsock"
  Socket="/var/lib/haproxy/dev/log"
)

if ($programname startswith "haproxy") then {
  if ($syslogfacility-text == "local0") then {
    action(type="omfile" File="/var/log/haproxy.admin.log")

  } else if ($syslogfacility-text == "local1") then {
    action(type="omfile" File="/var/log/haproxy.log")

  ### added for troubleshooting purposes
  } else if ($syslogfacility-text == "daemon") then {
    action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/haproxy.daemon.log")

  # was catching everything, until I added case for the `daemon` facility
  } else {
    action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/haproxy.log")

  }
}

What am I doing wrong?
Why is HAProxy not “splitting” logs into multiple facilities “streams”?
Maybe I do not understand something about HAProxy logging, and real daemon messages always use the daemon facility and ignore globa.log config?
Maybe this is a bug in HAProxy?

I’ve tested rsyslog is catching all facilities just, including messages with facilities sent to “haproxy” syslog socket.

logger -u /var/lib/haproxy/dev/log -t test -p local1.info "This is a test log message"
# received message just fine this tmp filter
#if ($syslogfacility-text == "local1") then {
#  action(type="omfile" File="/var/log/troubleshoot.log")
#}
