I had some private correspondence with Akira Kakuto about my bug report, 
and he said it isn't a bug.  The problem is simply that xetex has very 
limited support for type1 fonts, and the solution is to remove them from 
the fonts that fontconfig knows about, as you've done.  So I'll probably 
make this change the next time I update texlive.
