Suppose there is an entry for this font in pdftex.map, why does pdftex
try to access a bitmap font?

It is still an assumption that pdftex tries to load a pk file.  pdftex
says that it cannot find a particular file but it does not tell us the
name of the file.  That's definitely wrong, even if the whole truth is
more confusing.
