OK, ran *many* tests each with slightly differing conditions and seemingly random results, but stumbled upon the answer.
Logdigest will not function correctly with more than one *blank* line at the end of one of the condition files under /etc/logdigest. I did not test each file, but noticed the condition with ignore.local. I would *assume* (key word that 'assume') that the actions are similar for each of the condition files.
This should be covered in the README, really. Better, logdigest should check for empty lines and issue a warning or ignore them. I'll make sure to fix it in the next version. BTW, you can simply delete the /var/lib/logdigest/*.offset files to force a re-run on the entire files. Thanks, Peter
