Hi Hans,
Maybe side effects of the recent type3 patch, as you said, but I don't know.
I have tested the same issue by the pdftex without the recent type3 patch: the pdftex.exe in the present TeX Live repository, and obtained the same result: mktexpk is called if I delete the line in pdftex.map. That is, it is not the side effects of the type3 patch.
