No, oddly Apache doesn't think anything is wrong... it restarts  
normally (according to the logs) and runs without issue.

That was my thought, too, but monit runs as root so how does that fit?  
Unless it doesn't and I'm missing something...

root     23208  0.0  0.0  25444  1180 ?        Sl   13:47   0:00 /usr/ 
local/bin/monit
