I didn't try to reproduce, because I don't have one of these fonts.
However, it might be relevant that when you call set-face-attribute
with several attributes related to the face's font, the underlying
primitive, internal-set-lisp-face-attribute, is called multiple time,
one time for every attribute.  So the order of those calls might
matter, especially if one of the fonts doesn't support some of the
values of all the attributes (e.g., the 'normal' weight in this case).
