Linotype FontExplorer X did not report any conflicts, but activating/ 
deactivating all and reactivating them without conflicts seemed to  
solve the issue:
xelatex works in both cases, but xdvipdfmx fails when two instances  
of one font are activated (e.g. the Gill Sans Light from the .dfont  
and GillSanLig).
It is a bit hard to reconstruct this now (I should have stored the  
font list before, stupid), but maybe one of the Type 1 fonts got  
activated due to some application requesting it (e.g., FontExplorer  
is set to allow font requests by PhotoShop automatically). Pete,  
maybe you could double-check this with your configuration? (i.e., are  
there really no potential conflicts in the whole Gill Sans family?)
