A workaround appears to be to use

  (set-frame-font (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec FONTNAME))

instead of

  (set-frame-font FONTNAME)


Or

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
               (cons 'font (create-fontset-from-fontset-spec FONTNAME)))

instead of

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . FONTNAME))
