This is still the case with MacOS X 10.6.2, DejaVu Sans Extralight v2.30, and
Font Book v2.2.1(163.1).

The Font Book program alleges to validate before installing, lets you install
the aforementioned DejaVu Sans Extralight font, and then let you validate the
font again after installation.

When you validate the font after installation you are given a vague error:
"'kern' table structure and contents" with recommendation to "not use this
font.".

Other DejaVu fonts in v2.30 pass all validation by MacOS' Font Book program. 
Unfortunately I have no idea what font validation means for this proprietary
program so I can't be more precise about what it says is wrong with the
aforementioned font.
