Neither I have it in wheezy but in lenny the two sample PDF files render
with the wrong character. In both systems I have "symbol.ttf" installed
under the same path ("/usr/local/share/fonts/*.ttf").

Neither I have it in Lenny with stock fonts.
I mean, moving "symbol.ttf" to a different place so it's not detected by
the system makes PDFs appear okay. That means there has to be a problem
with fontconfig or freetype packages in lenny and this specific truetype
font as the others don't present this problem.
