I can confirm this and I have forwarded it to the upstream developers, at
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11367

Their answer is:
"Not really a bug but we will look toward removing the font object if
it is not used in a future release of ImageMagick."
"There is no workaround other than patching coders/pdf.c. We will post
a patch when time permits. Currently its considered a low priority
(the embedded font has been in ImageMagick for 10+ years now and this
is the first complaint)."

Unfortunately we won't be able to give a quick fix for this now :-(

Best regards,
Nelson
