» I think the real story is that all \installfont or \installrawfont
» commands, just append something to a token list, which is initialized
» by \installfonts and evaluated by \endinstallfonts.  Thus all the
» writing to .fd files is defered until the very end of the job.

» If you want to be pedantic, you'd have to say that \installfont puts

» when the .fd file is written out.
