I just updated from CVS and see the same thing.  Also with -debug-init,
and running under gdb gives this:

(gdb) r -Q
Starting program: /Users/steve/cvsroot/emacs/src/emacs -Q
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

When I start Emacs with -Q -fn "Dejavu Sans Mono-10" it succeeds, but
e.g. with -fn "Monospace-10" with a similar "not defined" message,
though this fontset was recognized prior to Kenichi Handa's latest
merge.

Emacs -Q also succeeds if I remove or rename the file
/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Emacs.  This file is from the openSUSE 10.3
distribution; it begins like this:

Without this file the font in Emacs -Q is this:
