bug#40558: (no subject)

[elaexuotee]

I encountered a similar issue while trying to package something with a 
texlive-union input. Tracking down the issue has killed way too many hours.

FWIW, the `working.tex' minimal example is also giving me similar problems:

With the patch to texlive-amsfonts the above typesets just fine; however, 
metafont ends up generating cmmi10.657pk and cmr10.657pk font files. Is this 
expected? Typsetting it from the texlive installation of my foreign distro 
doesn't call out to metafont at all.
