Most IETF protocols that send certificates around support sending
certificate chains, too. Should syslog-sign support this, too?
If not, why?

The model is for a more direct trust system where the certificate transfered is its own trust anchor. So if I am going to send you a log stream that I'll be signing with a certificate, I just send you the cert that I'm signing with. There's no need for a chain. Perhaps that cert descends from a formal CA and that may contain its own goodness, but it is not necessary.
