Looks like there are 2 reasons of that:
1. Missing OS/2 table (this is the real reason why Windows doesn't load it)
2. Font header reports 9 tables, and the 9th table seems to be broken:
offset 0x3EC6A78B, length 0x5F0F3CF5
Once I patch the font to report 8 tables, FreeType loads it without a problem.
