That was a good guess -- I did find something else unrelated wrong with 
the log file permissions :) But it didn't help here.

The directory is owned by dhcp:dhcp, and when I stop the service, the 
pid file is deleted automatically, which I assume means the permissions 
are correct:

basement log # dir /chroot/dhcp/var/run/dhcp
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 dhcp dhcp 4096 Sep  4 07:21 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4  2009 ../
basement log # /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
  * Starting chrooted dhcpd ... 
                                            [ ok ]
basement log # dir /chroot/dhcp/var/run/dhcp
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 dhcp dhcp 4096 Sep  4 07:21 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4  2009 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    6 Sep  4 07:21 dhcpd.pid
basement log # rc-status -v | grep crashed
  dhcpd       [ crashed  ]

Also, just for reference, I already tried "zap"; that didn't help 
because "stop" puts it correctly into the stopped state anyway.
