bug#8649: 24.0.50; Face customization interface broken

[Tim Cross]

This is observed with current emacs from BZR revno 104190 and running
as emacs -Q

When you do M-x customize-face, the standard high level custom interface
for setting font attributes is no longer used. Instead, you get a 'raw'
lisp expression without any of the normal custom widgests or extras,
such as the interactive lookup of face colours etc. i.e. what I see now is

Custom settings cannot be saved; maybe you started Emacs with `-q'.
For details, see Saving Customizations in the Emacs manual.

This revision is quite a big change of mostly unrelated things (well,
related because they are all "cleanups"). Could you try reverting the
changes in some files (starting with face.el, perhaps) and see which
ones fix your problem?

Reverting lisp/wid-edit.el to the one from rev. 103946 brings the 
interface back AFAICS.

Haven't worked out which 103947 change(s) to it are specifically to 
blame as yet.
