Since I started this thread I posted a bug report:

http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=10600 

Shortly after filing the above bug report jghali posted that he was
able to fix the problem in Scribus, with the fix to be applied to 1.4.1.

I also communicated with Professor Peter Baker, the designer of the
Junicode font. This afternoon I received an announcement on the
Junicode listserve that he had released Junicode 7.3. I just installed
Junicode 7.3 on my Fedora 16 x86_64 laptop with Scribus 1.4.0, and I am
delighted to report that it now works fine with Scribus. Evidently I
won't have to wait for Scribus 1.4.1 to enjoy Junicode goodness again.
