Not sure, I haven't tried other fonts.  I will have to figure this out in July
or August.

I don't think that is a problem.

show no difference here with CJKhdef set to -0.07em.

I use
  \CJKhdef{offset}{-.12em}
in c70bsmi.fdx, but when I use
  \usepackage{CJKvert}
*without* \CJKhorz, the vertical glyphs will *also* move to the right, which
is quite ugly if you mix it with non-CJK characters.

I think hdef should only be used when you have horizontal glyphs, whether
CJKvert+CJKhorz is used, or by default when you don't have CJKvert loaded.

Why was it your intention to use hdef only when CJKvert is actually loaded?
Because I think that hdef is useful to be loaded by default as well.

And is there an option where I could define CJKhdef locally, i.e. in the Tex
file itself?

升沈自古無窮事,愚智同歸有限年。
此意淒涼誰共語?岸沙君看去年痕。
