You and me both (-:

"ServiceIPC" is definitely not used on 10.5 and later.  You can have 
it in your plist if you want, but it does not affect the operation of 
launchd.

I believe that, on 10.4.x, if you want to check in with launchd you 
have to set "ServiceIPC" but my memory of 10.4.x is kinda hazy.  I 
took a quick look at the code and it certainly does /something/, 
which is a change from 10.5.x (-:

In summary, I think your analysis is correct.
