I guess you're right. I'll have to find another solution. Most likely,
change update-rc.d script so that it gets the file the link points to,
append the rootfs path to it and then check for the actual file's
existence before reporting an error.

No, the problem is not on target. The problem is when the postinst is
run on host. Basically, update-rc.d will run on a file that points to a
path on target:

/path/to/target/rootfs/syslog -> /etc/init.d/syslog.busybox

On host, this link is invalid and update-rc.d will exit with error.
Hence, the postinst will be postponed.

Thanks,
Laurentiu
