Did you remove any extension from the script's filename?
The script needs to be named "postflight", not "postflight.sh" for
example.
Yes, indeed I did. In fact, the script in question has always been
named "postflight," and has never had any extension. (And I just now
checked in a Finder Info window to verify this.)
Anyway, if the script had the wrong name, surely Installer.app would
never notice it at all, rather than log a message about failing to
run it?
An off-list correspondent suggests that a Ruby script — even in the
form of an executable beginning with "#! /usr/bin/env ruby" — might
be illegal in a postflight role. I doubt this, but is it possible?

I have in my package a script named 'postflight'. It appears in
the Contents/Resources directory of the package. It has the
executable bits set. It is a Ruby script, with the first line
being #! /usr/bin/env ruby .
Whenever I try the installer, the only error appearing in the log
is this:
<date> <hostname> : Install failed: The following install step
failed: run postflight script for <myPackageName>
