Hi Job ;-)
No errors are shown in the cron, it merely logs that it has run the command. With regards to the question of "why FreeBSD?", that's personal preference. I'm more comfortable troubleshooting on FreeBSD than on Linux…
Is there any way to make poller-wrapper.py produce more logging? (I admit not going through the code).

Depending upon the size of your installation, you could switch to running poller.php directly, if the poller-wrapper doesn't work.
I'd be willing to be that it's a permissions or other configuration error, though, and no fucking around with poller or the wrapper will fix it.
Just run it under Ubuntu/Debian. It'll make your life a lot easier when things don't periodically break because we're doing something that doesn't work on FreeBSD.

Maybe if you run it from cron like this?
*/5 * * * * root /path/to/wrapper > /tmp/poller-wrapper-output 2>&1
And than check if that file shows more information. Problems that I forsee are that the $PATH variable in context of cron is different compared to running it as root, or maybe it cannot find some required python modules.
Kind regards,

When using /etc/crontab file, remove the user column (root). It should be something like:
*/5 * * * * /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py > /tmp/poller-wrapper-output 2>&1
