I can confirm this behaviour. Looking at /org/gnome/ gnome-system- log in dconf-editor, I see there is a logfiles property, which is set to an empty list by default. (The list had a single item to begin with, because I had opened a log file earlier, and clicking the Set to Default button cleared it). The property's description is as follows:
“Specifies a list of log files to open up at startup. A default list is created by reading /etc/syslog.conf.”
The file /etc/syslog.conf does not exist on my system.
