We're still not getting the exception. The montage program returns without complaint for us (6.7.1-0). If we remove Freetype support we get:
  • montage -tile 1x10 -geometry 522x304+0+0 rose: rose: foo.png
    montage: delegate library support not built-in `/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/c059016l.pfb' (Freetype) @ warning/annotate.c/RenderFreetype/1511.
but that seems like a reasonable exception message.
