OK, so the problem lies somewhere in the Fontconfig setup, but only when running that Ghostscript installation. Therefore there must be something different in how Fontconfig is configured when running Ghostscript.

And we need to do this while reproducing the problem--that is, running Ghostscript and watching it fail to find the .ttf file and use .ttf.orig instead. Looking at the FC_DEBUG flags, it may be worthwhile turning on just about everything (FC_DEBUG=8191). You may end up with a huge logfile, but at least you can search through it to see where the .ttf.orig name is coming from.
