The problem occurs only with fonts that have relatively large characters --- as a math extension font is likely to have.  Hence it affects mostly only the microscopic fraction of Adobe's clients using TeX (and many of those "clients" only use the free part of Acrobat from Adobe anyway).
 
Some part of the Acrobat Reader printer driver for non-PS printers clips coordinates at 1024.  Now there is a claim somewhere that coordinates in glyphs should not get larger than this, but no other font rasterizer has ever had a problem with coordinates up to 4096 at least --- other than the buggy clone Sun's NEWS interpreter.  In the case of the NEWS rasterizer bug, we provided a modified font with smaller coordinates but larger diagonal entries in the FontMatrix.  This trick unfortunately doesn't work with Acrobat 4.

This is not the case.  The hinting (or lack thereof) has no effect. And the hinting in the AMS/BSR/Y&Y CM and AMS fonts is fine.
