Yes, in older Emacsen, `medium' is an alias for `normal'. This was
split up since the font spec allows two different font weights here (and
`medium' is heavier than `normal'), and Emacs didn't have a way to
choose the actual `normal' font.
The problem is that if you have a font that doesn't have the now-lighter
`normal' font, Emacs won't find the right spec. I'm not sure whether
there's any way to make a fallback of some kind here work... I'm
amending the text in etc/NEWS and moving it to the "incompatible"
section, though.
