I don't think that is it, since in init.c I force argv[0] to be "init"...
(about line 977):

    /* Fix up argv[0] to be certain we claim to be init */
    strncpy(argv[0], "init", strlen(argv[0])+1);

I think this is a bug that is showing up in findPidByName().  I'll start
digging into this one -- this looks like a release critical bug to me...
