I develop a number of preference panes, and the only difference I've
noticed with Leopard is the very obvious one that the UI size
requirements have changed.  I haven't encountered anything like you
describe.

If the preference pane bundle is still present but not showing up in
System Preferences, I wonder if the bundle has been modified as a
result of some other action (perhaps as part of your build script?)
and is no longer valid.

Does System Preferences print anything to console when the preference
pane is installed but not visible?  Have you tried removing System
Preferences' cache file at
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache?
