Yup, that's what I said.  As far as I remember (I suppose I could be 
confused, but probably not, because I'm sure I only did one successful 
compile and that was later), I ran install-tl, then the following 
commands from the instructions on 
http://tutimura.ath.cx/ptexlive/?tlptexlive%A5%EA%A5%DD%A5%B8%A5%C8%A5%EA):

    tlmgr update --self --all
    tlmgr --repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ update --all
    tlmgr --repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ install
    pmetapost pxdvi uptex

The version resulting from all that is the one that failed, and it still 
does.

Yup, just like for Zdenek, the older 806424-byte one works for me:

    [root at vps-1011517-5697 ~]# ll
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 831400 Feb 20 23:40
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx

    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx806
    [root at vps-1011517-5697 ~]#
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx --version
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx: /lib64/libc.so.6:
    version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx)
    [root at vps-1011517-5697 ~]#
    /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfmx806 --version

    This is dvipdfmx-20110311 by the DVIPDFMx project team,
    an extended version of dvipdfm-0.13.2c developed by Mark A. Wicks.
    ...

The revision date of the good one is 2011-03-11, which was over a year 
ago (an unforgettable date for all of us in Japan).  Are you sure it 
didn't get recompiled (on a system that has glibc 2.7) between then and 
now and end up in one of the updates to the repository that "tlmgr 
--repository http://www.tug.org/~preining/tlptexlive/ update --all" 
would pick up?  Notice that the date on my "bad" file is 2012-02-20.
