I've seen this before and worked with some engineers at Apple on this during a Carbon kitchen. It's been a while, but as I recall what happens is that beyond a certain point size, the glyphs start running into precision problems with the math inside of ATS. As I recall, what I did to fix it, was to always ask for a 1000 pt font and then scaled the curves to the appropriate size.

Yup, that worked. So did you file a bug for this? If it's been a while since you worked with Apple engineers on this, one would hope that it would've been fixed by now.
