The behaviour seems to be reversed in current trunk, but it seems to be 
the same on other platforms now, per the thread "Font settings ignored 
on new frames" in emacs-devel  on 3 June. So I think this can be 
considered fixed in 23.0.60, and if the new frames problem is considered 
a bug, then a new non w32 specific bug needs to be opened for it.

The bug described does still exist in 22.2 though.
