consolefont hook only works when run manually

I have the consolefont hook in my HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and a FONT defined in /etc/vconsole.conf

FONT=ter-u16n

During early boot, I see "Loading console font...done" without error, but the font is not actually applied!

If I drop into an initramfs shell, I can manually run the hook and the font is applied:

source /hooks/consolefont
run_hook

Any idea what might be going on here?
