Hm, and it runs successfully on the second invocation. Seems like a race

I hadn't considered that, but that does seem like a strong possibility (though 
it is still unclear why it would want to generate PK fonts.)

It does that because it cannot find fonts. It tries to load T1 fonts first and when that fails it tries PK fonts. And when kpathsea cannot find those, it tries to generate them. And when that fails, it seems that the kpathsea emulation locks up.
