Ok, I've tested what you suggest, and now I know that you are right and  
wrong at the same time :-)

Making the font unknown to pdftex (as you've done with `/nodir/...') is a  
viable solution, since texinfo exclusively uses CMR fonts.  Since it can't  
find the font, it doesn't try to merge or replace the font from the  
included PDF.  [Please remember that we are trying to circumvent a bug in  
pdftex.]

However, pdftex now *never* tries to merge this font!  Look at the attached  
files, which is a slight variation of your test: It includes `BFEx.pdf' ten  
times.  `BFtest1.texi' uses your solution, giving a PDF size of 105kByte.   
My solution `BFtest2.texi' needs only 49kByte!

So I still think that it is best to fix this issue with a correct  
lilypond.map file.
