bug#24482: 25.1; font setting in ".emacs" is not respected

[me@beroal.in.ua]

--text follows this line--

I change the default font via "Easy Customization" and save it. The 
contents of the file
".emacs" is below.
{{{
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
  )
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
  '(default ((t (:family "Nimbus Roman" :foundry "UKWN" :slant normal 
:weight normal :height 201 :width normal)))))
}}}

After I restart Emacs, the font shown is not the font I chose. Actually,
I see how Emacs changes the font I chose to another font promptly.

This bug appeared after upgrading from 24.5 to 25.1.
