Looks very familiar, unfortunately.

Since this is about the only message I ever see from ntpd, I put the
following line in /etc/ntpd.conf:
logconfig -syncall
At least this got rid of those annoying messages. Maybe syncinfo or
syncevents would be sufficient to kill these messages. I haven't checked
if LOG_NOTICE in the source code is equivalent to the message type
"info" in the manpage.
IMHO, it violates the tradition that programs shouldn't blather.
The following patch to ntp_loopfilter.c should quell the message:
