Following up to myself....
There are a few debian-bug posts suggesting a problem with gs and
/etc/gs.Fontmap.
The following strace exerpt run with *no* input to gs appears to bear
this out. It's not clear to me why the fonts in question are being read
in the order appearing below, as this is not the order in which they are
listed in the file.
