Thank you for the tips, and the advice to ignore the Fontforge error.
Progress is as follows:
SJIS-encoded dgjhw.pfb and .tfm created.

Now problems: since the font is not yet a part of the Wadalab fonts, I
wanted to test it now in C49 encoding (just like before I tested it
with C70 encoding). So I made a c49dgjhw.fd file and a dgjhw.map file.
The FD file reads for now as follows:
==
\def\fileversion{4.7.0}
\def\filedate{2006/10/17}
\ProvidesFile{c49dgjhw.fd}[\filedate\space\fileversion]
% Japanese characters
%
% character set: one-byte half-width katakana (JIS X 0201-1997)
% font encoding: eight-bit (as used in SJIS)
\DeclareFontFamily{C49}{dgjhw}{\hyphenchar [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\DeclareFontShape{C49}{dgjhw}{m}{n}{<-> CJK * dgjhw}{}
\DeclareFontShape{C49}{dgjhw}{bx}{n}{<-> CJKb * dgjhw}{\CJKbold}
\endinput
==
The map file is very simple:
==
dgjhw dgjhw < dgjhw.pfb
==
I then register the map file and update ls-R files as usual. Now when
I modify the SJIS.tex in the examples of the CJK package and try to
use half-width katakana (only) using dgjhw instead of mincho and
removing the DNP option in the CJK environment, then I get errors.
Here is my file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CJK}
\begin{CJK*}{SJIS}{dgjhw}
\CJKtilde
(some half-width katakana characters here)
\end{CJK*}
\end{document}

I don't know if this means that I did a mistake with fontforge, or if
it means I made a mistake in setting up the font in latex.

True. I have read some more to gain better understanding of how the
Wadalab fonts are processed.
I am still studying how to do the virtual font part to integrate the
half-width katakana into the Wadalab fonts.
