Sorry! I was too fast!
Actually it's not the Safari update and reboot, but the font I used!
Or the fonts management system in Mac OS X – see below!
Since I can't really work with NS Emacs.app because copy&paste does
not work at all, I decided to try to find all available mono-spaced
fonts and see how they look (the look is independent from whether I
can read or not). For this I did not try the "original" font again,
but a new one as first test instance. Since I then walked through all
the fonts I came again to
-apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light-medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-m-0-
iso10646-1
(It has an accompanying condensed variant in another font family, -
apple-Latin_Modern_Mono_Light_Cond-medium-normal-condensed-*-9-*-*-*-
m-0-iso10646-1, which works well – besides the fact that it's not
useful as an Emacs font. Its regular variant -apple-Latin_Modern_Mono-
medium-normal-normal-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1, again in a different
font family, works well as well, despite the fact that Font Book marks
faultily one member as a duplicate.) Linotype FontExplorer X (version
1.2.3) and Apple's Font Book (version 2.1) characterise this "faulty"
font as:
PostScript name LMMonoLt10-Regular
Full name LMMonoLt10-Regular
Family Latin Modern Mono Light
Style 10 Regular
Kind OpenType PostScript
Language Albanian, Basque, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish,

Apple's Font Book annotates *faultily* the Oblique variant as being a
duplicate. This circumstance does cause errors in XeTeX typesetting,
one stage using font properties from one member, the other stage using
font properties from another member. Cleaning the dirty font caches
involves a reboot following. I'd like to wait for this action a few
weeks, until the end of month or arrival of a new security update...
