That was a start of a project for me, so after that I > migrated to CentOS 5 (which is a free RHEL fork). I've had this bug too using Gentoo and RHCS stable-2. After a bit of investigation I've found the bug and the solution (a small, tiny, trivial 2-line patch to fenced) I've already posted on RH bugzilla but got no response. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512512 The patch worked out for me and cluster is in production from august.
