Well the idea was to have the same font stream in both files, so we
exclude that from the reasons it breaks.
Curiously, when I use Deja Vu:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
Then I get a
VHOYGZ+DejaVuSansMono CID TrueType Identity-H
yes yes yes 8 0
and the PDF prints fine! So it must be related to how Type 0C fonts
are written out, I think.
