I've finally spent time bisecting, and found what I think is the
culprit:

commit 172592b99f93e1bf03002a6769aa608e2776f44b
Author: Dmitry Antipov <address@hidden>
Date:   Wed Jun 27 19:46:48 2012 +0400

    * alloc.c (allocate_string_data): Remove dead code.
    * xsettings.c (XSETTINGS_FONT_NAME): Move under HAVE_XFT to
    avoid GCC warning about unused macro.

I'm running with a recent trunk snapshot with this patch reverted, and
it seems to fix my problem so far.
