Hello Nick,
> This is an incompatibility between the font Cyberbit.ttf and XEP_384.
Cyberbit font is inconsistent with TrueType Specification:
All TrueType fonts include 'post' table that contains the PostScript names
of all the glyphs. According to TrueType Specification, number of glyphs in
'post' table should be the same as the total number of glyphs in the font.
However Cyberbit 'post' table has names not for all glyphs.

I agree, that XEP reaction could be more adequate in such a situation. We
will implement some workaround for this problem in one of the future
releases.
> Any thoughts on a work-round for this, other than not using Cyberbit?
I believe the only way to make XEP 3.8.4 work with this font is to find the
correct Cyberbit font (if it exists).

You may try to use MS Gothic (TrueType) font for Japanese.
With best regards,
Alexei Gagarinov
