That means calling it manually never reports the failure but using the init
script always does?

Right, but I'm pretty much convinced that this is not an acpid bug but instead
shows acpid suffering from the very same problem your whole system suffers
from. If you do no have an input layer available you do lack the event devices
needed for acpid but also the input devices. 

Having said that, could you try dowgrading hal and test whether this makes a
difference?
