But the fonts themselves are still files, right? Would it help if the
-F option wouldn't consider file extensions at all when selecting files?
(I.e., just try to read *every* file in the -F directory?)

There's the "-s forceType0Fonts" option- if you specify that, all fonts
that are embedded should be used. If you specifiy that and still suspect
that pdf2swf isn't using some embedded fonts, please do send me the
corresponding pdf, as that would mean that you have found a bug.
