What programs are called by the Fedora packages?

That is probably a bug in the Fedora scripts?

(I *really* should write that article how to package TeX Live, that
is rubbish what they are doing ...)

Yes, --syncwithtree is not enough, it needs a run of
	updmap-sys
afterwards.

This is even documented in the source code, updmap.pl, at the end
of the syncwithtree option
      # the original script did not run any update of the map files here,
      # should we do that?

Did anyone of the Fedora guys actually tested these scripts?
