emacs -Q
M-x customize-face fixed-pitch
M-x customize-face fixed-pitch-serif
Face `fixed-pitch' has serifs. Face `fixed-pitch-serif' has NO serifs.
Something is wrong, here. Dunno how you might want to fix it, but the
names definitely don't fit the actual default fonts used.
They use font families Monospace and Monospace serif, respectively.
Presumably the problem is at that level?
This bug has been present ever since `fixed-pitch-serif' was first provided, in Emacs 25.

BTW -
Since `fixed-pitch' has looked more or less the same
from the beginning, and in particular it has had
serifs, maybe instead of, or in addition to, having
face `fixed-pitch-serif' we should have a face
`fixed-pitch-sans-serif'?
Or maybe we should go ahead and change the appearance
of `fixed-pitch', so it does not have serifs?

We could do that, indeed.

As I explained in my other message, this is impossible, at least not
without backward-incompatible changes. So I don't think we should do
this part.

That's not what I see here, FWIW.
- fixed-pitch uses "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"
- fixed-pitch-serif uses "Courier 10 Pitch"
Could this be Windows specific?

Dunno. Where do you see which font it uses, like that?
M-x customize-face, for me, has all attributes unchecked
except for Font Family, and that's `Monospace' and
`Monospace Serif'. And `describe-face' likewise.
And the definitions in faces.el have only :family, with
the same "Monospace" and "Monospace Serif" values.
In faces.el, searching for "Monospace", I see that
option `face-font-family-alternatives' maps `purecopy'
over some lists of strings ("Monospace" "courier" "fixed")
("Monospace Serif" "Courier 10 Pitch" ...)...
;; In the absence of Fontconfig support, Monospace and Sans Serif are
;; unavailable, and we fall back on the courier and helv families,
;; which are generally available.
;; Monospace Serif is an Emacs invention, intended to work around
;; portability problems when using Courier. It should work well
;; when combined with Monospaced and with other standard fonts.
;; One of its uses is for 'tex-verbatim' and 'Info-quoted' faces,
;; so the result must be different from the default face's font,
;; and must be monospaced. For 'tex-verbatim', it is desirable
;; that the font really is a Serif font, so as to look like
;; TeX's 'verbatim'.
Not that I understand any of this. But clearly the one
with the serifs is `fixed-pitch' (on MS Windows 10, here).

Of course I did that. I was looking for something like
what you wrote: "fixed-pitch uses...".
In my case (emacs -Q), the fonts are these:
gdi:-raster-Courier-normal-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x73)
face fixed-pitch
uniscribe:-outline-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x83)
face fixed-pitch-serif

So we have a similar (though somewhat different) problem on GNU/Linux.

I'm also on Debian bullseye. I wonder what causes the different things
we are seeing. Sounds likely that we have different font related
packages installed, right?
I also have some local font modifications, but I they are only adding a
bunch of bitmap fonts that I like to use for my status bar. Not sure if
there's some other junk lying around, or how to check if there is.
BTW, is there any way to run Emacs with the default font configuration,
without any user configuration?

Yup. This is with "emacs -Q", by the way, which I failed to mention
the last time, but it seems like I'm getting the same in my normal Emacs.

I think one part of the problem here is that "Mono" family (which is
what fixed-pitch uses) doesn't say whether the result will be with or
without serifs. So you can get a font either with or without the
serifs, depending on what fonts are installed and perhaps also on some
local configuration.
The other part of the problem, which could be Windows-specific, is
that the MS-Windows font back-ends don't know about "Mono Serif"
family. Do you always get a font with serifs when the family is "Mono
Serif"? If so, we could perhaps teach MS-Windows do the same. But
the result might be that both faces get the same font -- are we okay
with that? One place where that could matter is in Info.

It looks like DejaVu Mono only has one variation, and it's... with
serifs?

No, it's without serifs, AFAICS.
But that's not what I was asking: the "Mono Serif" family could
include more than just DejaVu Mono. I'm asking whether asking for
that family always brings fonts with serifs, or sometimes you get
fonts without serifs? If you get DejaVu Mono, I guess the answer is
"the latter"?

I'm not sure. The "i" here has serifs, surely?

But if this is a serifed face, the serifs aren't very... dominant.

The family "Mono Serif" is an Emacs invention, AFAIK. Font utilities
are under no obligation to support it.

Nope. I guess it's basically a sans serif face, but with some serifs
for clarity here and there.

Like this (from faces.el):
(defface fixed-pitch
'((t :family "Monospace"))
"The basic fixed-pitch face."
:group 'basic-faces)
(defface fixed-pitch-serif
'((t :family "Monospace Serif"))
"The basic fixed-pitch face with serifs."
:group 'basic-faces)

Oh, right. Then the answer is "the latter". :-)

So the conclusion, AFAIU, is that this is just how this font family
behaves.

I believe you need to look at the typeface as a whole, and not just one
character in isolation.
The decorations on the "i" character are not really to be considered as
serifs, I don't think. They are just part of the appearance of "i" in
that typeface.
You could compare it to the "i" character in the Ubuntu Mono font, or
even the "I" character, which is advertised (by experts in the field) to
be sans-serif:
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu+Mono
That said, it's not like this is an exact science. There is quite a bit
of wiggle room within the broad categories "serif" and "sans-serif".
