…this mystery is solved. This document works:

A font size of 10pt is also fine.
When a font size of 11pt is requested, however, it probably computes a
different DPI value and tries to find matching bitmap fonts of that
size.
It should just generate new fonts then, but I guess mktexpk and all
those tools need to patch their invocations of sed and awk.
So, two things to do here:
1) patch mktexpk, mktexnam, mktexnam.opt,
share/texmf-dist/web2c/mktexupd, et al to find “sed” and “awk”.
2) figure out why pdflatex tries to use bitmap fonts at all when other
files exist.
