Finally figured the problem out. It turns out that our daemon wasn't clearing the signal mask before execing the child. Rsync seems to use some signals for the various processes to communicate with each other, and the non-default signal mask was blocking one or more signals that rsync needed to complete it's shutdown. Who knows what other things wouldn't have worked right for the same reason...
If rsync relies on signal delivery, rsync _must_ unblock those signals in addition to setting the signal handler. Assuming your initial signal state is a _very_ bad idea.
