Not 100% sure this is the same problem, but here is a CJK font fragment 
from a PDF file that
exhibits nasty behavior unless
   #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
(and hinting not disabled).

This is from a ft-devel list thread from 8/2004 titled "Glyph Oulines

Tested with cids <0604><059C><0DA9><0B6E><19F5>
