Does this happen in Emacs 23 also?

Anyway, it looks to me that we need to trigger recomputation of all
the basic faces, with remapping taken into account, when
face-remapping-alist is modified.  Otherwise, any asynchronous call
into redisplay, such as mouse highlighting, could potentially try to
realize some of the newly-remapped faces, resulting in this kind of
assertion violation.
