I also have this same issue. I changed the permissions manually in rc.local at every boot, but it stil affects portions of the boot cycle. particularly, it happens before logcheck runs, as I get an email containing the following

Cron <logcheck@otherland> if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10 /usr/sbin/logcheck -R; fi
/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 533: /dev/null: Permission denied
/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 619: /dev/null: Permission denied

It would be nice to fix. Is /dev/null generated by udev only? or is it hard coded into the /dev/ folder to support early boot mechanisms before udev starts?
