What is the status of the freetype font support of fpimage?

I tried the following:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Developing_with_Graphics#Drawing_without_LCL

which runs fine under 32bit, but under 64 bit I get an AV:

GNU gdb 6.8-debian

#10 0x0000000000000014 in ?? ()
#11 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Should I debug it, or am I misusing fpimage fonts?
