I've got this behavior on a 7.1 box.  I'm doing roughly the same thing - 
building in a jail that's just for building packages and then copying them 
into ezjail's pkg directory.  Exact same behavior - had to copy the apache 
startup script over by hand since it was missing from the package.

I believe I've seen this elsewhere as well, but I've pretty much given up 
on the issue.

If you bring this up on one of the freebsd lists, let me know and I'll 
chime in with a "me too".
