Or maybe it's not a bug.  Emacs just does that because emacs has no
mechanism to tell which characters are missing in each of the hundreds
of fonts that come with the X distribution.  Looks like a safe default
to be sure that non-latin characters are always displayed correctly
(at the cost of displaying them with a different size).

I don't know if there is a way to disable fallback fontsets and just
display everything with the same font.
