You have compiled fvwm with the --enable-multibyte option. That is
the difference. This option should be selected only if you use
a true multibyte language (e.g., a CJK language). These type of
pbs has been fixed in the 2.5.x series (*unstable* series).

You probably use a locale with a charset which is not "iso8859-1"
and your fonts 7x14 and 6x10 are aliases to some fonts with
such a charset. Moreover, your locale X config reject the
"iso8859-1" charset as an acceptable charset for your locale.
With "--enable-multibyte" you should replace 7x14 by:
  -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*
and 6x10 by:
  -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-*
