Further investigation.

Running pdftopdf with an option to override the built-in form flattener works:

Both:
    pdftopdf 1 jr "" 1 "pdftopdf-form-flattening=pdftocairo"
f941-test-qpdfview.pdf >f941-test-pdftopdf.pdf
and:
    pdftopdf 1 jr "" 1 "pdftopdf-form-flattening=ghostscript"
f941-test-qpdfview.pdf >f941-test-pdftopdf.pdf

produce the desired result with the form text included.  So it seems that the
built-in QPDF flattener code is broken.

As a work-around, how do you set that option in the cups config so that it is
picked up for every print job?
