You make a good case for simply upgrading to the backport version and using passenger - I had it working flawlessly within minutes. I had considered doing the upgrade but didn't realize how big of a difference it would make. Thanks for the push required to take the leap!
Just as a quick summary: I used the lenny backports to upgrade puppet to 2.6.x and followed the instructions at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Using_Passenger. Did not run into any unexpected issues that wasn't covered in the documentation.
