To fix, add:

  {"roman",             XLFD_SLANT_ROMAN,               &Qnormal}

To the table for slants in xfaces.c.  This may not be the _proper_
fix, but it does fix the issue and now my Emacs works again as it
should be working.

See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs-snapshot/+bug/197366
for the full diff on that file, both just for the source code and for
the Ubuntu package for Hardy Heron.
