ftfont.c:

    { "windows-1251", { 0x0401, 0x0490 }, "ru"},

Thread 1 "emacs" hit Breakpoint 3, ftfont_get_charset (registry=XIL(0x394540)) 
at ftfont.c:486
486       for (i = j = 0; i < SBYTES (SYMBOL_NAME (registry)); i++, j++)
(gdb) pp registry
microsoft-cp1251
(gdb) 

So correcting the name of the registry in ftfont.c fixes this. Thanks
for the hint, Eli.
