I assume it's because it sorts first (57-c before 57-d) and so is shoved
into the sans-serif list before DejaVu Sans gets sorted. Moving the file
to 58- should work around that if that's what is desired. A quick look
at the fontconfig source seems to confirm that.

It is a pretty nice font though once you get used to the (fairly)
jarring change from Deja Vu Sans. It would be nice if the password blank
out circles were bigger/more obvious, though, I think?
