Hello!
After 'make install' by super-user I launch as mortal user
nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
This is fine. I save site-start.el under a different name and launch
nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -q
What I get looks quite like this:
[-- Attachment #2: Emacs.app xyz.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 98038 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 3039 bytes --]
(This buffer's contents looks almost right, the frame's title is
correct, but *Messages* or *Buffer List* are a mess.) When I launch
Emacs.app without parameter or by double-clicking on it or by using
the open command, Emacs.app shows for long time these weird texts.
Particularly error messages or warning (unsafe local variables,
desktop file in use, etc.) cannot be understood. This state ends when
the first frame is rebuilt to follow initial-frame-alist. From now on
all texts are sane/OK.
This behaviour started already with GNU Emacs 23.1.50 – at least such
an old version (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple-appkit-824.48,
2009-11-14, Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.949),
built under Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, shows this behaviour in Leopard,
Mac OS X 10.5.8. I do seem to remember that I saw this scrambling in
GNU Emacs 23.1.90 on Tiger. The X clients do not show this effect.
Processor is PowerPC "G4" 7447A, i.e., big endian (intel/AMD are
little endian).
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-
appkit-949.54)

Hello!
This effect is gone. None of the saved installations shows this
effect. It could be the last reboot, it could be the installation of
Safari 5.0.1 before this...

Sorry! I was too fast!
Actually it's not the Safari update and reboot, but the font I used!
Or the fonts management system in Mac OS X – see below!
Since I can't really work with NS Emacs.app because copy&paste does
not work at all, I decided to try to find all available mono-spaced
fonts and see how they look (the look is independent from whether I
can read or not). For this I did not try the "original" font again,
but a new one as first test instance. Since I then walked through all
the fonts I came again to
-apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light-medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-m-0-
iso10646-1
(It has an accompanying condensed variant in another font family, -
apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light_Cond-medium-normal-condensed-*-9-*-*-*-
m-0-iso10646-1, which works well – besides the fact that it's not
useful as an Emacs font. Its regular variant -apple-Latin_Modern_Mono-
medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1, again in a different
font family, works well as well, despite the fact that Font Book marks
faultily one member as a duplicate.) Linotype FontExplorer X (version
1.2.3) and Apple's Font Book (version 2.1) characterise this "faulty"
font as:
PostScript name LMMonoLt10-Regular
Full name LMMonoLt10-Regular
Family Latin Modern Mono Light
Style 10 Regular
Kind OpenType PostScript
Language Albanian, Basque, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish,

Apple's Font Book annotates *faultily* the Oblique variant as being a
duplicate. This circumstance does cause errors in XeTeX typesetting,
one stage using font properties from one member, the other stage using
font properties from another member. Cleaning the dirty font caches
involves a reboot following. I'd like to wait for this action a few
weeks, until the end of month or arrival of a new security update...

A power failure was faster: Because I cleaned the fonts caches and
removed all "duplicate fonts" in the Font Book application, -apple-
Latin_Modern_Mono_Light-medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
now works again without fault! So it was either a failure in the fonts
caches or a failure in Font Book which marked the font as having a
duplicate (without explaining why and by what this flag is raised).
