What is my mistake of understanding ?
You made a couple of mistakes and highlighted a bug in the PDF exporter.
Mistakes:
1. You never registered the standard page sizes with:
PaperManager.RegisterStandardSizes;
2. Your report used LiberationSans font. Make sure you added
the search paths to the font cache. eg:
{$IFDEF UNIX}
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add(GetUserDir + '.fonts/');
gTTFontCache.SearchPath.Add('/data/devel/Wisa/fonts/Liberation/');
{$ENDIF}
3. You positioned a lot of reporting elements overlapping each
other. Correct positioning will help you see things better. ;-)
Bug:
The PDF exporter didn't handle Page.Orientation of Landscape
correctly, and rendered such pages from the bottom upwards.
I supplied a patch to FPC's Mantis so hopefully Michael or
somebody could commit that soon.

After all that, the report renders just fine.
ps:
Note that I compiled your project using the latest fpReport from
FPC Trunk. I simply set the correct Unit Source Path in the project.
You don't need to use FPC Trunk compiler - I used FPC 2.6.4.
Regards,
Graeme
