Odder still is that, apparently, the embedding rights flag is not being honored. 'pdffonts' gives this from the PDF created by Alan's example:

13:03 ~% pdffonts /Users/smoye/Dropbox/TeX/HoenigChineseTest.pdf 
name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
IXSXWJ+CMR10                         Type 1C           yes yes no       4  0
AFBYXB+STKaiti                       CID TrueType      yes yes yes      6  0
VTDOUX+STKaiti-SC-Bold               CID TrueType      yes yes yes      8  0

Oh well.
