This still happens in intrepid :-(
Any old trivial source that tries to use one of the Garamond fonts will fail the same way For example:
----
\font\rm=ugmr8a at 12pt \rm \pdfoutput=1
This is a test.
\vfill\eject \end
If one comments out the first line (so that it uses the default rm font) then it works fine.
