Comment (by kyngchaos):

 I've tracked this down to a problem with Qt Carbon on Leopard.  I use Qt
 Cocoa for Snow Leopard builds and Qt Carbon for Leopard builds.  This is
 because the ready-made binaries, for some reason, do not include PPC in
 the Cocoa versions, even though they say they support Leopard.  For the
 older Qgis 1.4 I used Qt 4.5 Carbon for both Leopard and Snow, and Snow
 does not have the problem, so it looks like it's the combination of Qt
 Carbon on Leopard.

 I have no idea if it is possible to work around this in Qgis, it's beyond
 my skills.

 I can build the Leopard Qgis with Qt Cocoa, BUT, that will either take a
 lot of work compiling Qt Cocoa to include PPC code, or will be Intel-only
 if I use the downloadable Qt Cocoa.
