I could, but I'd have to do it before syslogd gets started, meaning a more intrusive modification than I'd like to make -- and the more likely it will be that Apple hammers it in an update.
Still, the point I was making was that, since it's not really possible to know why the pipe was created or what it's being used for, I'd be inclined not to mess with it, and either duplicate it faithfully or ignore it and report the fact. Changing it into a normal file is not desirable.

we're going to be recreating FIFOs and devices (outside /dev, of course) this in the next update.

Great! Thanks!
