Hey, Andy, here's a test I thought of.  I'm not on my Linux box to do
it myself, and you seem like you have a good setup for the test.

In /etc/fonts/conf.d, there should be a file called no-bitmaps.conf
(in fontconfig-2.3.2+ there is).  Change the name to
10-no-bitmaps.conf or make a symbolic link.  fc will only read files
in that directory that start with 2 numbers.  The contents of that
file tell fc to reject non-scalable fonts.

After restarting X, you can see if the behavior with firefox is the
same.  Might have to look at fc-cache and fc-list to see if fc
actually updated or not.  I don't know it's behavior in that respect. 
fc-list alone would probably be enough to see whether it skips the
bitmap fonts by default.
