Actually, as I was thinking about this overnight, I decided that I don't understand why it's ever trying to build a bit-mapped font. Surely pdfTeX can simply use the .pfb file directly. I guess I simply don't understand how pdfTeX and type 1 fonts work at all, and I need to google around to find a good explanation. Doc
