In v9.x, we are using syslog-ng to perform system logging. The "log" iRule command sends the given string to the local syslog daemon via the "syslog" method. The "repeated xxx times" message is a feature of syslog's automatic output compression. When syslogd sees two or more identical messages bound for the same destination, it outputs the first and then counts (but does not output) the duplicates. After a predetermined delay, it outputs a message of the form "Last message repeated n times" indicating the number of copies received during the delay period.
You might want to try to inject some random values into your log messages to verify that indeed you are not logging the same message.
I am unaware of any way to turn off the output compression feature of the syslog daemon aside from making sure the messages are unique.
