Unfortunately I've already overwritten the bad frame logs from today's tests. On the off chance that it will be of use you'll find a successful frame log at the end of this message.
To me it looks as if AfterEffects is bound to the static location of the Mac's /Library as well as the intended install locations of some if not all of the other pieces of the CS5 suite itself, so it may not be possible at all to have a central library.
Using killall on aerendercore or aerender so far has not solved the zombie problem, so this issue may have gotten worse in CS5 from what you've described. One aspect of MacOS X that frustrates people who've used other unix platforms is that there are situations in which even kill -9 as root will not terminate a stuck process. This is particularly true if you have an OpenGL or graphics driver error. You'd think having created OpenCL that Apple would finally want to do something about that...
In the mean time I'll give the LogCheck function a try.
