I couldn't find an example with Type 1 fonts, but:
It seems FF puts positive values for ghost hints (or edge stems) into 
otf files (I just checked with Fontlab). I think they should be negative 
here as well.

Concerning the unwanted autohinting: I still couldn't prevent FF from 
doing it, even with all the patches you sent. -- I think autohinting 
didn't happen in some older version of FF, but I couldn't find the right 
one anymore.
