Unable to write to syslog with UDP

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Configure 'udp,127.0.0.1,514' under 'Syslog Audit Servers'.

PWM insists on using TCP regardless.  The following tcpdump output illustrates 
this:

Note there is no UDP traffic over port 514 when writing to syslog is attempted:

# tcpdump -p -nn -iany port 514 and udp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes

0 packets captured
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

However there is TCP traffic over port 514:

# tcpdump -p -nn -iany port 514 and tcp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes
