I have now made a module, which is detected and the {membership.membership_type_id} and {membership.start_date} tokens are present in the "Smarty Debug Console". But they are not printed in the actual PDF...

This is just to prove that I can actually inject tokens. I probably have to do some SQL joins later to get the actual name of membership type and price, yeah?

I would much prefer to define these tokens in civicrm.settings.php, it this is in any way possible with smarty or otherwise, in stead of building a module 

<?php

function civicrm_extratokens_civicrm_tokens( &$tokens ) {
    $tokens['membership'] = array( 'membership.membership_type_id', 'membership.start_date' );
}

function civicrm_extratokens_civicrm_tokenValues( &$values, &$contactIDs ) {
    if ( is_array( $contactIDs ) ) {
        $contactIDString = implode( ',', array_values( $contactIDs ) );
        $single = false;
    } else {
        $contactIDString = "( $contactIDs )";
        $single = true;
    }

    $query = "
SELECT membership_type_id,
       start_date
FROM   civicrm_membership 
WHERE  contact_id IN ( $contactIDString )
AND    is_test = 0
GROUP BY contact_id
";

    $dao = CRM_Core_DAO::executeQuery( $query );
    while ( $dao->fetch( ) ) {
        if ( $single ) {
            $value =& $values;
        } else {
            if ( ! array_key_exists( $dao->contact_id, $values ) ) {
                $values[$dao->contact_id] = array( );
            }
            $value =& $values[$dao->contact_id];
        }

        $value['membership.membership_type_id'] = $dao->membership_type_id;
        $value['membership.start_date'  ] = $dao->start_date;
    }
}

I also can't see why it doesn't work... but I have found another and perhaps simpler approach here, without database look ups: http://w2.forum.civicrm.org/blogs/michael-mcandrew/creating-address-block-token

The module:
<?php
function addressblocktoken_civicrm_tokens( &$tokens ) {
    $tokens['contact'] = array( 
        'contact.address_block' => 'Address block' );
}

function addressblocktoken_civicrm_tokenValues( &$values, &$contactIDs ) {
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';
require_once 'CRM/Utils/Address.php';
foreach($contactIDs as $id){
$params=array('contact_id'=>$id);
$contact=civicrm_contact_get($params);
$values[$id]['contact.address_block']=nl2br(CRM_Utils_Address::format($contact[$id]));
}
}
?>
I have verified that the contact.address_block token does work, and is in fact displayed in the PDF letter.

Perhaps it's possible to do the same for membership information, like retrieving Membership Name, Membership Fee, etc.? I tried to hack the module by including the Membership equivalent of Address.php, but couldn't make it work...

I don't know how to prevent that. You might want to research this on the CK editor site / forums. If you get an answer, please post back here.

We periodically pick up new releases of included libraries / projects - so sounds like this will be resolved at some point.
