What about Subrs and OtherSubrs, have you checked for SEAC glyphs ?

Actually you don't *have* to eexec encrypt fonts, its done for historic 
reasons.

To be honest, without seeing the font, and the usage, its not possible 
to tell, you may be. If you'd like to post an example somewhere public 
I'd be happy to look at it. (I can also debug Ghostscript and find out 
what its complaining about).
