Comment(by hamish):

 Hi, after some more digging around on the beta1 iso and brainstorming with
 Brian in IRC, we seem to have tracked it down.

 On the disc there is both a libmapnik2-2.0 from Ubuntu's official 12.04
 release, and a libmapnik from mapnik's ppa.launchpad.net repo.

 The version from the ppa is newer, the official 2-2.0 version didn't have
 all the postgis 2.0 kinks out of it yet at time of release and includes
 the AsBinary() call.

 compare ubuntu's libmapnik2-2.0's
  beta1iso$ strings /usr/lib/mapnik/2.0/input/postgis.input | grep Binary

 with mapnik ppa's libmapnik's
  beta1iso$ strings /usr/lib/mapnik/input/postgis.input | grep Binary



 legacy_minimal.sql does contain the AsBinary() call, so will probably
 help. Another idea is to rebuild the gpsdrive .deb package based on the
 mapnik ppa libmapnik-dev, but if possible I'd hope to avoid the 3rd party
 dependency, it leads to dll hell.
