To add some fun to the story, I did the test with lualatex. The same problem
arises with gs 10.06, while the patched version of gs 10.04 produces an
erroneous text… but a different one! This seems to confirm that the cause and
nature of the bug are different in 10.06 from that in 10.04.

Best regards,
