The rendering of *Chinese* text with bitmaps is correct and not a bug.
The other Chinese font (AR PL UMing *) from the ttf-arphic-uming package
 also has embedded bitmaps enabled for the same reason as WQY ZenHei has.

If you display the text with AR PL UKai * however, this should *not* be
the case as that font does not include bitmaps and does not have bitmaps
configured in fontconfig.

Also, other scripts, like Arabic, Indic scripts, Thai, etc. should be
rendered normally.

For Latin, Greek and Cyrillic it may be that Chinese fonts get preferred
and therefor being rendered with bitmaps. But this depends on your
locale and font preferences in fontconfig.
