Thanks all, that seemed to be the problem (the suid bit). :)
Well if you really want to call it a problem... Blocking ICMP via a host based firewall remains pretty silly.
Bear in mind that since it's a file permission this will be 'fixed' on any update of ping. Not that ping gets many updates but there you go...
I'm still curious as to why this was a requirement.
