I found a mis-feature of cronie:
If a user has a crontab entry that starts with a dash (meaning: don't log) the entire line is skipped. Existing crontab entries like that fail silently.
and the other is:
The old cron manual said: "If the uid of the owner is 0 (root), he can put a "-" as first character of a crontab entry. This will prevent cron from writing a syslog message about this command getting executed."
But as you say, it worked even for unprivileged users' crontabs. (Probably a bug in old cron).
