Oh God, sounds like I'll have another weekend of finding and
squashing "helpful" features when emacs 23 makes it to updates :-).

On the font problem, one thing that might provide a clue is to
run something like

strace -e trace=file emacs

and compare it with

strace -e trace=file emacs -fn <whatever>

You might be able to see where emacs is poking around differently
with the explicit font specifier.
