How about:
IPTABLES=iptables
But that's exactly what Fedora put in all of my /etc/init.d/iptables!
Could yours have gotten modified along the way somehow?
Have you been running any strange configuration utilities, perhaps?
The default iptables script I have has the following md5 and date stamp.
[bevan]> ls -al /etc/init.d/iptables
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6319 Oct 23 07:18 /etc/init.d/iptables
[bevan]> md5sum /etc/init.d/iptables
