My Grog Log isn't with me but you got my curiosity up and I looked at the various recipes shown from the past 80 years for the Rum Barrel in the Total Tiki app. I found this about passion fruit in the drink:

1940s - Don the Beachcomber - no passion fruit yet.
1960 - Ports O' Call - 3/4 oz passion fruit juice or passion fruit puree.
1961 - Steve Crane - 1/2 oz passion fruit syrup.
2007 - Jeff Berry's hybrid - 3/4 oz passion fruit syrup.

I was thinking about "syrup or liqueur" and the answer I derived from the above was that in the small amounts shown it's not a big deal as long as the passion fruit flavor is strong enough to contribute to the flavor of the drink.

Wow, the rum barrel is 80 years old and still kickin'... It's really good stuff!
