Description:
MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual :: 5 MySQL Server Administration :: 5.2 MySQL Server Logs :: 5.2.3 The General Query Log

The third paragraph:

When using statement-based logging all statements are written to the query log, but when using row-based logging, updates are sent as row changes rather than SQL statements, and thus these statements are never written to the query log when  is ROW. A given update also might not be written to the query log when this variable is set to MIXED, depending on the statement used. See Section 17.1.2.1, “Advantages and Disadvantages of Statement-Based and Row-Based Replication”, for more information.

Did binlog_format influence the content of the general query log?
