This could be due to \installfont caching the glyph base. Try changing the
second \installfont to

  \installfont{test100}{mosc,ssls,8y,\metrics}{8yls}{}{}{}{}{}

This \metrics item won't do anything, but it will make the respective
second arguments distinct, and that prevents caching. Another alternative
(which should work also with fontinst v1.8) is

  \installfont{test100}{mosc,ssls,8y scaled 1000}{8yls}{}{}{}{}{}
