Having verified what you say about the module (whilst I don't use it
myself) here's a non-nginx-config/compile-y idea:

I suggest you make /absolutely/ sure that the binary in your (root?)
path that gets hit with "nginx -v" is the same one you end up running
via the init script.  As in, explicitly trace it through the script
and the filesystem to ensure you're not hitting an older binary for
some reason.
