I eventually realized that:

 |   #(define fonts
 |      (make-pango-font-tree "TeXGyreSchola"           % whatever...
 |                            "TexGyreHeros"            % 
 |                            "Luxi Mono"               %
 |                            (/ staff-height pt 20)))

 is function call that absolutely requires four arguments.

 I had inadvertently removed "(/ staff-height pt 20" bit causing the
 function call to fail. Lilypond indeed does the right thing and falls
 back to its default three fonts.

 I added the fourth "staff-height..." arg back in and all is fine.

 Sorry for the noise...

 Thanks,
