I can't help much beyond what you've already found out. I do know that I've taken to writing my own batch scripts outside of the symfony structure and loading the necessary classes manually. It tends to be faster and I don't run a-foul of all of the environment settings you mentioned. As you found, there isn't near enough documentation or examples to work through some of the very powerful features or to understand some of the specifics.
