Sorry, I am bad. I should have posted the solution to the list.
It seems that the puppet gem is hard coded to use /var/lib/puppet/run/agent.pid
(I still haven't bothered to check the source code). For puppetd, I simply had
to change the PID file location to hard coded location.
I haven't tracked down the issue with puppetmasterd sysv script yet (still
using the killall puppetmasterd to stop it) and when I get a few minutes, I'll
figure it out but I suspect that the same issue is at play.
