if you go to system preferences->users->(your user account)->login items, do you see Growl there?
if so, remove it from there (Growl now uses launch services, because of apple's imminent sandboxing), and double check the setting in growl preferences is still what you want.

I can't figure out how to keep it from coming up when Growl starts at login. I haven't had this problem with earlier versions. Anyone having this problem or know how to turnoff the preference pane?

This new version is SOOO ambiguous in the way it operates, it's causing all sorts of trouble.

What I want to do:

Open Growl on login with icon in menubar so I can tell it's working "before" receiving emails.

What happens:

It's unclear how the toggle (open on login) should be set. Used to have an On and Off. Now just has a slider with nothing on it, exposing on or off below. Place a check mark next to the Open at Login text to make it clear. I've tried it both ways and it just doesn't seem to work, so I'd like to know that I have that part set up correctly first.

I've tried to put the app in sys prefs, but I see that isn't correct. How do I know if its running then?

Well the easiest way to see that any app is running, in general, is to launch Activity Monitor and then simply search for it.

So make sure that you have Growl set to run in the menubar. However, apparently we have hit upon some sort of issue causing Growl to not start with the recommended (and really only) way to start something up at login under sandboxing. So you're hitting that issue. http://code.google.com/p/growl/issues/detail?id=498 is the issue for this that I just filed, feel free to click the star.
