Any idea what's going on here? It requires a -9 to kill the processes.

and then it hangs forever and requires a -9.
Are you quite sure of that? What happens if you use a TERM or QUIT signal? Have you attached strace (or whatever syscall tracing tool is appropriate for your platform)?
Am I doing the wrong thing, is this a bug, or is there something odd about my system?
Last time I looked the qpsmtpd timeout alarm only applied while parsing SMTP or while receiving messages, but not while plugins were executing. I haven't seen any discussion about possible fixes for that (but I haven't checked that it hasn't been fixed). That could explain qpsmtpd waiting forever, but wouldn't explain faulure to terminate on TERM and QUIT signals.
