The prize goes to Andy Lin for the simplest solution and the weirdest behaviour of a program I've seen in a while. There were indeed three, not just two, copies of the font on my system. I had one in my local .fonts directory and removed that yesterday, but it didn't seem to help. Today I did a check again and found that two copies were in separate subdirectories in /usr/share/fonts (japanese and IPA). I deleted one of the two and lo-and-behold, I get the attached pdf. Thank you all for your suggestions. Please remember this gotcha for anyone having similar problems in future: do a search for the font file and delete duplicates from anywhere XeTeX might find them, particularly from two places in /usr/share/fonts. Seems like an odd error to be caused, though perhaps they were slight variants of the fonts and the xdvipdfmx and acrobat reader were finding the different ones with separate glyph indices or something. Once more, thanks for all the help and suggestions. Now back to writing weird papers mixing Japanese text into my English.
