Closing as invalid. This was caused by referencing a missing font family in 'custom-set-face' inside my .emacs. (The font used to be present on the system, but I did not re-install it after a system upgrade.) Apparently, if custom-face is set inside .emacs, Emacs will disregard the setting in the command-line or X resources.
