This is probably the change which causes the problem (from the CHANGES
file):

    - Indexing CID-keyed CFF fonts is now working: The glyph index is
      correctly treated as a CID, similar to FreeType's CID driver
      module.  Note that CID CMap support is still missing.

You might look up the mailing list archive: Derek Noonburg wrote a
mail w.r.t. this change -- AFAIK, he has fixed it in recent xpdf
releases (but maybe I'm wrong).
