100% reproduction for me with:

$ emacs -Q
M-x customize-face default
-> font-family starts out set to 'adobe-courier'
-> change it to 'terminus' (or some other font, like 'fixed')
-> set for current session (frame repaints with the new font)
M-x make-frame
-> get new frame, with adobe-courier
-> another 'set for current session' on default face repaints all
   frames with the configured font, but every subsequent make-frame keeps
   creating one with courier

This is with a freshly built emacs from CVS (regular rebuild, not full
bootstrap).
