Pretty bizaare.  I can't reproduce this on my machine, but according to
the Debian bug report, it seems to be related to environment variables
somehow.  Do you see the bug if you start Emacs with an empty
environment like

 env -i DISPLAY=":0.0" HOME=/home/cyd /home/cyd/emacs/src/emacs

(replacing cyd with your username)?
