Since even the init-script starts pg as user postgres I have no idea what differs from init-script to direct call of pg_ctl as user postgres...?!?!
Do you have SELinux turned on? That can do weird stuff like this--the init script will be running with restrictions the manual pg_ctl launch will not have. Should be information in /var/log/ somewhere if that's the case.
