This is a bug in the auto-hinter. It should be applying the transform
after processing the glyph outline, but doesn't (silly me !!).
and in case you wondered, FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE intentionally disables
transform processing to let the auto-hinter process un-transformed outlines.
I'll try to fix this now..
