Sorry, the test is not thoroughly. no problem with .emacs containning:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
   (concat
    "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-fontset-courier,"

    "sjis:-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-jisx0208*-*"))
  (set-default-font "fontset-courier")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but, with  Emacs 22:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat ~/.Xdefaults
Emacs.Fontset-0:-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-fontset-14,\

Emacs.font: fontset-14

$ xrdb .Xdefaults
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

start emacs and M-x describe-fontset <RET> <RET> gives:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

M-x describe-fontset fontset-14 <RET> gives:

M-: (set-default-font "fontset-14") and M-x describe-fontset <RET> <RET>
still gives fontset-default.
