Nice description, I'll steal it one day ;-)
Those systems are robust, declarative workflows may be a bit brittle. We have
to learn all the tools.

I have the impression that you're using ruote 2.2.0.
I've played with
https://gist.github.com/2830509
---8<---
require 'ruote'
$dboard = Ruote::Dashboard.new(Ruote::Worker.new(Ruote::HashStorage.new))
$dboard.noisy = true
pdef = Ruote.define do
requestor :task => 'request_business_trip_application_form'
participant 'hr'
participant 'ceo', :if => '${f:amount} > 25000'
end
class MyParticipant
include Ruote::LocalParticipant
def on_workitem
puts "+++ #{workitem.participant_name} +++"
reply
end
end
$dboard.register do
catchall MyParticipant
end
print 'amount? '
amount = gets.strip
wfid = $dboard.launch(pdef, 'amount' => amount)
$dboard.wait_for(wfid)

with ruote 2.3.0 and it worked. 2.3.0 (master branch pulled in via Bundler)
features improved condition evulation. I guess you're on 2.2.0 and the :if
gets poorly evaluated.
I hope this will help, cheers,
