Thanks for fixing this.  I downloaded face-remap.el
from MASTER, and I see that you applied the fix I
suggested: (if (or (null specs) (eq specs face)).

I see from the commit log that the regression was
introduced in 2008.  Which Emacs release was that?

[And how do I find that release @ from the web
interface to the repo, here?
