This would appear to be the case, but as per my previous, this was not the
behavior I was expecting!

I have just reproduced the issue, and there were no messages logged to
syslog or messages.

I provided a link to an strace of NTPSec failing to start in the email that
you replied to, lines 347 and 348 are

7556  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/ntp.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
7556  +++ exited with 1 +++

For reference this is from a different attempt to start, so the PID date
and time does not match the strace, but the rest is functionally the same.
