Yes. It does. I've tested distilling the file with JawsPDF 2.1.1, 
Distilller 5.0.5 and GS 7.04. The problem appears with gs 7.04 but not with 
the other two applications, which use completely different algorithms to 
produce the PDF, btw. I conclude the bug is in GS's interpreter, because 
the postscript file contains references to the ligature glyphs yet, they 
are being, apparently, replaced by artificial composites.

I'd suggest you file a report at SourceForge's bug tracker.
