After eyeballing that, I think I have no hope of reproducing your test
conditions unless you show me the exact script and property list files
you used. In particular, I was wondering if the problem could be
related to launching the postmaster in advance of some system service it
needs; without seeing the Requires/Uses specs you gave, there's no way
to know what might have happened.
BTW, that page also references this Apple document saying that
StartupItems are being obsoleted:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/macosx/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Concepts/BootProcess.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002130/CJBBICAB
However, they should still work as of 10.3.*, so that's just an
interesting tidbit for the future.
