I'm experiencing more or less the same problem on Debian here.  The
:height setting in my .emacs for the default font gets ignored when
starting Emacs.  When I reevaluate .emacs it's applied.

I think this is a pretty serious annoyance and should be fixed before
the release - in the worst case by reverting that commit.

Note: I cannot observe this issue on Windows.
