Very possibly, it hasn't been fixed yet.

I have a script I use to change all the linking, including repairing  
the broken linking.  But it depends on bundling PyQt and SIP and the  
Qt frameworks to get all the relative linking working right.  I'd have  
to look it over to see how I could apply it to a build where these are  
left in their installed locations (what the Qgis build instructions  
give you).

That might be tricky - doing relative linking between separate  
executables (Qgis, qgis_help, and Python) can get messy (which one is  
each link relative to?), unless @loader_path is used (this was added  
in Tiger, so it wouldn't work on Panther).
