A brief update post may be in order here:

The problem of ABW profiling and ABW workflow in CS4 is still unresolved. Specifically, 
PSCS4, LR2 and Mac Leopard are all presently having trouble living together. This 
manifests in particular when it comes to using ABW profiles for b&w output in LR2 or 
PSCS4. In CS4,  profiled printing using "Photoshop Manages Color" and the ABW driver do 
not produce expected results. Until this situation is resolved it is recommended that 
PSCS3; CS3 ABW profiles and  "Photoshop Manages Color" be used for accurate printing to 
the ABW driver.

The situation is maddening since it restricts controlled ABW printing as well as profiling in 
LR2 and PSCS4. The situation is being aggressively pursued with "The Big Three" Adobe, 
Apple & Epson.
