Hi! It seems even more bizarre now: I set the chmod of both fonts back to 0400, and Iceweasel doesn't crash anymore, even after I have deleted the fontconfig cache (locally and in /var) and ~/.fonts.cache-1 file.
The bug will perhaps reappear when I restart my computer. I'll let you know when I do. I think the bug has only appeared now because the MediaWiki page has a huge dropdown list with all different languages in different scripts. Iceweasel tries to use my SunExt fonts, but is unable to read them, hence the crash. I have filed the same problem with gedit (#410167), but it keeps crashing after I set the chmod of both fonts back to 0400. So it could be a Pango problem altogether, I don't know. Anyway, I have attached the XHTML page in question so you can test the file offline. Cheers!

Site config
Preferably a short word without punctuation, i.e. "Wikipedia".
Will appear as the namespace name for "meta" pages, and throughout the interface.
Displayed to users in some error messages, used as the return address for password reminders, and used as the default sender address of e-mail notifications.
Select the language for your wiki's interface. Some localizations aren't fully complete. Unicode (UTF-8) used for all localizations.
A notice, icon, and machine-readable copyright metadata will be displayed for the license you pick.
An admin can lock/delete pages, block users from editing, and other maintenance tasks.
A new account will be added only when creating a new wiki database.
Using a shared memory system such as Turck MMCache, APC, eAccelerator, or Memcached will speed up MediaWiki significantly. Memcached is the best solution but needs to be installed. Specify the server addresses and ports in a comma-separted list. Only use Turck shared memory if the wiki will be running on a single Apache server.
E-mail, e-mail notification and authentication setup
Use this to disable all e-mail functions (password reminders, user-to-user e-mail and e-mail notifications) if sending mail doesn't work on your server.
The user-to-user e-mail feature (Special:Emailuser) lets the wiki act as a relay to allow users to exchange e-mail without publicly advertising their e-mail address.
For this feature to work, an e-mail address must be present for the user account, and the notification options in the user's preferences must be enabled. Also note the authentication option below. When testing the feature, keep in mind that your own changes will never trigger notifications to be sent to yourself.
There are additional options for fine tuning in /includes/DefaultSettings.php; copy these to your LocalSettings.php and edit them there to change them.
If this option is enabled, users have to confirm their e-mail address using a magic link sent to them whenever they set or change it, and only authenticated e-mail addresses can receive mails from other users and/or change notification mails. Setting this option is recommended for public wikis because of potential abuse of the e-mail features above.
Database config
If your database server isn't on your web server, enter the name or IP address here.
If you only have a single user account and database available, enter those here. If you have database root access (see below) you can specify new accounts/databases to be created.
This account will not be created if it pre-exists. If this is the case, ensure that it has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions on the MediaWiki database.
If the database user specified above does not exist, or does not have access to create the database (if needed) or tables within it, please provide details of a superuser account, such as root, which does. Leave the password set to - if this is not needed.
