Your problem sounds like this one:

http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=2868

(which unfortunately split into many different bugs rather than being
all in the same one)

I think the underlying problem is that ns-win is doing a slightly odd
thing by calling set-face-background, and it does not play well with
customize. See also bug #3408.

The solution may be to change ns-win to use a more customize-friendly
method of changing the face, if it really needs to do that.
