Another finding that suggests pdftex is blameless. If I compile the 
TeX source with latex and view the DVI using xdvik I see the same 
thing:

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="type1:hinting-engine=adobe" xdvi test.dvi

gives corrupted results while

FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="type1:hinting-engine=freetype" xdvi test.dvi

works fine.

I've submitted a freetype2 bug at savannah.
