I'm on emacs 25.1.1 (emacs25-lucid on debian unstable) and noticed that
while all font rendering settings seems to correctly come from
fontconfig, the "rgba" setting (subpixel hinting) doesn't seem to have
any effect. It defaults to disabled.
The Xft.rgba X resource *does* have effect though.
I noticed just yesterday, as I normally had subpixel hinting disabled
everywhere (matching the default), and didn't have to set any X
resources for Xft so far. I tested some other settings, and Xft.rgba
seems to be the only exception.
Can somebody confirm this without having to inspect the source?

Is this a new problem with Emacs 25.1, or did it happen with previous
versions as well?
Thanks.

I tested emacs 24.5.1, and it behaves the same way, so seems to be an
old quirk.

Thanks. I guess it probably means Emacs never supported this.

It just feels odd, as the other properties behave as expected.
Should I file a bug?

It goes all the way back to the merge of the xft branch.
