Is it possible that the sshd service is started before the syslog-ng
service?  In that case the startup messages of the starting sshd service
would go to the Windows event log as a fallback, because the syslog
function finds that no syslog service is running.  If you add a
dependency to the sshd service, so that its only started when syslog-ng
is present, then you shouldn't see that problem anymore.
