 If I configure my 'DogtagAuto' CA in /var/lib/certmonger/cas without the '-T
 caAgentServerCert', the certmonger daemon dies as soon as I request a
 certificate using that CA. Other than that, it looks like I'm using the
 same flags as you. 
Well, it shouldn't be dying at least.  If you can get a coredump or a
backtrace out of it, that'll help track it down.  I'm not really sure
how the use (or not) of the -T flag with the helper could be affecting
that, though, as when I tried obtaining a certificate using it and the
caServerCert profile, it succeeded.
I got an authentication error attempting to specify the
caAgentServerCert profile, which makes some sense since the helper
submits the request using using the end-entity services interface and
only uses the agent creds when it goes back to approve it using the
agent services interface.
 when I run dogtag-submit this way manually (without the template), I
see
 that it reutrns: results = "<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="no"?><XMLResponse><Status>2</Status><Error>Request
Deferred -
 {0}</Error><RequestId>  70</RequestId></XMLResponse>"
 0
 state=approve&requestId=70
 
 I find it strange that this response would crash certmonger. Also, wouldn't
 I need to specify a template if I need to automatically sign the cert and
 get the cert immediately? 
The helper hard-codes a default of "caServerCert" if the flag isn't
used, and that looks like a pretty normal delay-and-state-cookie output
value to me, so a backtrace would be really helpful in diagnosing what's
happening when you try it.
