Yesterday I compiled emacs from CVS by doing:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
./configure --prefix=/opt/emacs-cvs --program-suffix=.em23 --with-x-toolkit --enable-font-backend --with-xft
It seems to work ok with one for me very important exception: glyphs in the Private Use Area are not rendered correctly. They simply appear as empty boxes in the buffers. This bug seems to have been around for quite some time (introduced somewhere between December and February, I think -- judging from the ubuntu packages maintained by Alexandre Vassalotti).
I hope this can be fixed soon, since it is crucial for my work. I use a lot of glyphs from the PUA in my research (Old Norse Philology).

What code do you have in your .emacs relating to display of those
characters?

Sorry for not replying before!
I have no special code in the .emacs file apart from the specification of
which font to use. Today on a fresh arch GNU/linux install where I installed
the package "emacs-cvs" (23.0.60) and didn't have an .emacs file, the
problem was still there, when I started emacs this way:
emacs --font
"FONT_WHICH_INCLUDES_THE_GLYPHS_AND_WORKS_IN_DEC_2007_VERSION-FONTSIZE"
The glyphs in PUA just show up as boxes
Best regards
Alex

Looking at what you wrote above again, I think the problem is that Emacs
now looks in greater detail at which unicode characters fonts have,
rather than blindly using any iso10646-1 font for all unicode
characters. For characters in PUA you will need to explicitly tell Emacs
how to display them as follows, since Emacs cannot automatically
recognize which fonts contain the characters you want:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#xe000 . #xf8ff) FONT-SPEC)

I have improved the documentation for fontsets, including adding several
examples of the use of set-fontset-font, which seems to be the preferred
way of specifying fonts for particular characters in Emacs 23.
