Okay, I built libfreetype from their git repo, installed it to
/usr/local and reran my test:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ python testcase.py

This does indeed show what Sam observed: the two versions of
FreeMono.ttf show different advances for some characters. So the weird
behaviour only materializes with a recent version of FreeType and a
specific version of FreeMono.ttf. Does that help us figure out what's
happening and whether there's actually a bug somewhere?
