Not sure this is related.

Most probably because in the "fast" case it finds the empty vector in
the cache, and thus avoids the costly call to the font driver's 'list'
method.

Yes, it did, see http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17125#32:
the empty vector was causing an error when creating a new frame via
emacsclient.

Like I said, I'm not sure 1 is of any immediate concern to us.
The only way forward I see is to reproduce the problem described in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17125#26 and in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17125#29, in the "fast"
case (i.e. without the changes that fixed that bug), and then look for
a different solution for that problem. If you can reproduce that,
please step through x_default_font_parameter and x_default_parameter,
and tell how does the empty vector in the cache come into play. Then
we can try some other solution for that.
Thanks.
