I'm not particularly trying to avoid a connection to the window server (at least in the helper executable). I do use some API that I noticed hooks up with the window server (NSWorkspace?

I found out the hard way a while back that, if you try using NSWorkspace without calling NSApplicationLoad() first, then you're playing with fire. Apple might have changed things in Leopard so that NSWorkspace automatically sets things up, but in Tiger it didn't.

This just gets more confusing by the day, and it's shaking our customers' confidence in the product to see the processes marked as hung. :-/

Unfortunately I think you're going to have to avoid using any AppKit classes in your background task.
