1) Does a Handy Haversack count as a masterwork backpack?
2) Does stowing an item in a Handy Haversack provoke an AOO?
Strictly speaking:
1. No, the benefits of a masterwork backpack are not mentioned anywhere in the item's writeup, so a handy haversack does not count as a mw backpack.
2. Yes. The item allows you to pull items out of it without provoking, but not the other way around - without language saying otherwise you go back to using the default rules.
With that said, I think using a masterwork backpack as a base for enchanting your own Haversack is a fine idea, and I'd probably allow it in my home games. YMMV, ask your GM. :)
In my opinion, using the MW backpack as a base would work.
But the +1 STR, would disappear as soon as it becomes a haversack.
This is similar to requiring masterwork weapons prior to them being enchanted.

If you look at the "Magic Item Creation" rules in the Core Rulebook, you'll notice that *only* armor, shields, and weapons are required to be masterwork items. Everything else (rings, staves, rods, and wonderous items) leaves out that requirement.
