I can confirm what you noticed regarding Acrobat Reader 5.05 being left open when started from the command line with /t option. However, I can't blame Adobe for it because this is an undocumented (and unsupported) feature for the Windows version of AR. 

The following link shows an important difference in the behavior between AR 4.0.5 and 5.0.5:

I tested with AR 4.0.5 and my silent print job triggered by another application worked perfectly fine. AR 4.0.5 terminates after printing and is even not visible in the task bar. So if this is ok for you, just go back to AR 4.0.5. You can download this version from: 

 ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/4.x 

Good luck.
