The error log didn't contain anything useful.

I made two experiments now.

First, I modified the MKIV PDF file to use the MKXL font stream, and
changed the text primitives to use low chars.  This renders fine on
all PDF viewers I found (text is garbled, of course), but it still
doesn't print.  So now I'm fairly sure now the bug is in the font stream.
