The solution and the probable cause... In the end, this problem was fixable, by using 'clear direct formatting' in the areas affected. (Could not do whole doc lest we wipe out italics and such).
The amazing fact was that the problem did not manifest in a PDF at the subdocument level, it just showed up in PDF output from the masterdoc. Very likely it was some kind of imperfection with the process of switching fonts somewhere in mid project. Unclear if it is substantial enough to rise to the level of a reportable issue. It probably is, but I would not know how to duplicate it.
