Since this is a lasi / pango issue, it is slightly outside our control.
It has been raised on the lasi list and Ed Trager is looking into it. 
The latest svn version of lasi has a temporary workaround. 

I don't think there is an easy way of removing an example just for a
particular driver. You either need to remove the examples for all
test using the c language bindings (by editing test/test_c.sh.in) , 
or you need to disable all psttf tests as you suggested.
