Ok, I have now confirmed the following things. If you install
a *MINIMAL* chroot with *NO* gsfonts, then:
* compilation works without problems.
* output is also perfect, no problems with fonts.
After that I installed gsfonts, and booooooom, compilation fails.
And if it succeeds, fonts are messed up.
So it is as I suspected: gsfonts, the completely broken and wrong
and irregular and PITA gsfonts with cyrillic glyphs are the problem.
I don't see what *I* as TeX Live maintainer can do here, besides
putting a conflicts against gsfonts into tex-common, which will
not work either due to dependencies.
It is all nothing bug a BIG BIG mess, started by the completely
unnecessary addition without renaming.
My tendency is to reassign this to gsfonts and forget about it.
