No that's not acceptable — font packages must not assume any system locale and
be installable without side-effects on any system. This point has already been
discussed to death last year on the fonts list.

I'd even go further, the font has no business changing the settings of any font
but itself. If it tries that's a bug in the font package. If it uses the proper
checks but QT ignores then that's a QT bug.
Looking at the file, the package does try to limit the antialias effect to a
set of fonts. So either the check is badly written, and it's a font package
bug, or the syntax is ok, and something QT-side makes a mess of it. Behdad
should probably be able to tell you if the check is correctly written.

A font package must not override global antialiasing settings. Just because a
font for traditional Chinese is installed doesn't mean traditional Chinese is
the primary language the current user is using, especially on multiuser
systems. Several font packages are also installed by default on the live CDs.

In main user's point of view, this is what it supposed to be a feature rather
than a bug.
AFAIK, since cjkunifonts-uming has no hinting data but that is the default font
of zh_TW locale, antialias=false for pixelsize <= 17 is somewhat necessary for
any user who uses such font with best display quality.
People who doesn't need Chinese (Traditional) support should not choose that
during installation or later, until at least latest Gnone and KDE support by
font antialias rendering on same display.
To conclude, IMHO this is not a bug.

it's a bug in /etc/fonts/conf.d/25-ttf-arphic-uming-bitmaps.conf from
cjkunifonts-uming that sets antialias=false for pixelsize <= 17. It causes the
qt/kde font antialiasing not used initially.
Is there any reason why you set antialias=false for pixelsize <= 17?
PS: if someone cannot wait for the fix, just remove this package
