OK.

That's not an apples-to-apples comparison.  pminfo talks to "-h
local:" by default.  If you make your pmwebd context use
"/pmapi/context?hostname=local:", it'll give you the same information.
If your copy of pmwebd doesn't let you connect to local:, add "-P"
(permissive [sic] mode) to the pmwebd.options and restart it.
