Seems the PIDfile header in the initscript is just wrong. This should have also been broken on mga2 as far as I can tell, but unless someone reports that explicitly I won't look! cpufreqd itself is more or less useless these days anyway, so I'd generally recommend simply uninstalling it (it doesn't even work for me here - fails to load for other reasons).
