More news on this bug. It turns out that apparently, the program that launches startup items on Tiger is much more strict than before. It requires that all the files of the startup item be owned by root:wheel and have 755 access permissions.
The installer for the A26 does two bad things. First, it installs it's stuff so that it ends up owned by the user doing the installing and with the wrong permissions. Second, it also changes the permissions and ownership of the /Library/StartupItems folder itself which prevents any startup items in that folder from ever being loaded.
The work around for the problem is to run the installer and then execute the following at the command line afterward:
% sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA2662mFirmwareLoader
% sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA2662mFirmwareLoader
% sudo chown root:wheel /Library/StartupItems
% sudo chmod 755 /Library/StartupItems
Or, in one big command line for easy cut & paste:
% sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA2662mFirmwareLoader; sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA2662mFirmwareLoader; sudo chown root:wheel /Library/StartupItems; sudo chmod 755 /Library/StartupItems

I just wrote up <rdar://problems/3885055>. The bug is about something that is preventing the startup item that starts the A26/A62 firmware loader daemon from starting up. This has the effect of preventing the device from showing up on the system. This appears to me to have broken fairly recently as I was using the A26 as recently as 8A296 I think. At any rate, it is definitely broken on 8A305 and 8A309.
I worked around it by launching the startup item by hand from the terminal:
% sudo /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA26A62mFirmwareLoader/EmagicA26A62mFirmwareLoader
