This seems to indicate that a real font-changed event was received.
Can you look in your Gsettings and find where does this come from?

Anyway, how about if we simply introduce a defcustom that would
disable dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event from having any
effect?  Or maybe people who don't want this feature should be advised
to simply unbind this key binding:

  (define-key special-event-map [config-changed-event]
    'dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event)

WDYT?

In any case, Martin, I think you should install your patch on the
emacs-25 branch.
