Ok gotcha. I have seen the same type of issue because I as well use the cairngorm architecture. One thing you may want to do is debug the app , and watch the output window. I can almost guarantee you there is an error being thrown by cairngorm. When an error is thrown in Flex/Flash, it can stop the processing of the current frame (which in your case seems to be the loader) so the app never comes up. I had to extend the cairngorm a bit to be able to properly use it in the same type of situation you are running into. I will write up something more advanced later. For the time being, I would try the debug option. Let me know what you see, and also try Matt's suggestion. I didn't notice you were running them in two different contexts. Keep me posted.
