I haven't seen this issue. It may just be a dirty compilation problem. Often distutils doesn't rebuild enough. Try removing the build directory and then build/install.
If that's not the case, we'll need to track down which font is tripping it up. Set "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" and then send us the output.
