Yup, that's what I said. As far as I remember (I suppose I could be
confused, but probably not, because I'm sure I only did one successful
compile and that was later), I ran install-tl, then the following
commands from the instructions on
http://tutimura.ath.cx/ptexlive/?tlptexlive%A5%EA%A5%DD%A5%B8%A5%C8%A5%EA):
tlmgr update --self --all
tlmgr --repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ update --all
tlmgr --repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ install
pmetapost pxdvi uptex
The version resulting from all that is the one that failed, and it still
does.

Yup, just like for Zdenek, the older 806424-byte one works for me:

This is dvipdfmx-20110311 by the DVIPDFMx project team,
an extended version of dvipdfm-0.13.2c developed by Mark A. Wicks.
...
The revision date of the good one is 2011-03-11, which was over a year
ago (an unforgettable date for all of us in Japan). Are you sure it
didn't get recompiled (on a system that has glibc 2.7) between then and
now and end up in one of the updates to the repository that "tlmgr
--repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ update --all"
would pick up? Notice that the date on my "bad" file is 2012-02-20.
