Sorry, the problem turned out to be at my end....  :-(

After building each of the Pango DLLs I was copying them to the required target folder.  But one of them wasn't getting copied, so the older version (from 1.28.0) was still getting used.  This mix of old and new versions was causing the crash (basically, because struct _PangoWin32Font has changed between the two versions).  In a way, it's a good thing that it crashed.  Otherwise I might never have noticed the problem!!
