I didn't look at the changes themselves in detail.  My thoughts were
based on a report that reverting faces.el and cus-face.el to the
previous version had made the problem go away. Maybe the person that
reported that had actually reverted more than just those two files,
so the report was bogus.

I don't see the report in the emacs-devel archives, so it probably
went to emacs-pretest-bug where Ben wouldn't have seen it.
