Karl,
Yes, deleting those bkaiu entries in dvipdfm_dl14.map does not affect
dvipdfmx. It can still process dvi files containing the Chinese
TrueType font (bkaiu). Furthermore, having them in the correct
syntax in dvipdfm_dl14.map does not hurt. However, having them in
the incorrect syntax in dvipdfm_dl14.map will choke dvipdfmx.
What I request to "correct updmap-sys behaivor" is that at least
updmap-sys won't propagate the "incorrect" information about bkaiu
into dvipdfm_dl14.map, because it will "choke" dvipdfmx. In my
previous example, it results in the deletion of the rest of the font
records in dvipdfm_dl14.map and the failure of generating PDF
containing typ1 font with "times.sty" package with dvipdfmx.
I don't know how to do a patch. However, I can do whatever I can to
assist you to resolve the issue.
By the way, if any of the dvipdfmx team member can say a word on the
issue, that will be great.
Regards.

So I gather dvipdfmx uses cid-x.map for CJK information. Ok.
The correction of the updmap-sys behavior is still in need.
For fonts that are in cid-x.map, are dvipdfm_dl14.map entries
needed at
all? What if the bkaiu* entries are removed entirely, does it still
work? It would be easier to implement simply omitting the entire
entry
for anything in cid-x than to omit part of the entry.
Also, I notice that the entry in cid-x is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ unicode :0:bkai00mp.ttf
Can it be counted on that "bkaiu" (ie, everything before the first @)
begins any fontname that should be dealt with specially by updmap?
Otherwise, I don't know how it could be determined.
Overall, I can see already that it's not going to be easy for me to
prepare a change, since I have no simple way to test it, or know when
things are working, or ... Is there any chance you or someone else
there (Werner?) could make a patch?
Thanks,
k
