The message:

Invalid face reference: nil [nnn times]

where, nnn is replaced by a number, appears frequently in the *Messages* 
buffer.

How I reproduce it:
1. start emacs
2. open any file
3. open a 2nd window or frame for the *Messages* buffer
4. type ctrl-g in the open file's buffer - notice only Quit messages in
the *Messages* buffer i.e. the normal effect
5. open master.org
6. create an agenda with ctrl-a a
7. type "G" into the agenda window (This is just one of several ways to
produce the problem.)
8. now type ctrl-g in ANY of the open file's buffers or the agenda window
itself and observe the "QuitInvalid face reference ..." message.

What I've tried:

- debug-on-error t - nothing happened
- debug-on-entry to message function - nothing happened
- attached advice to message function, as described at
  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DebugMessages.  That also did nothing -
  perhaps because the message occurs in a "repaint"?

Observations:
- it's interesting that once the effect is triggered in org, then it
occurs everywhere
- this problem does NOT happen if I switch back to org 7.9.3f.
- if I don't use org from ELPA and instead use org 8.2.6 in a site-lisp 
directory, the problem still happens

Any ideas?
