GSettings and GConf override Xresources, so if GSettings have DejaVu Sans Mono 
and font-use-system-font is t, that is the expected behaviour.  The bug is 
then why the first frame doesn't use DejaVu.

If you don't have font-use-system-font set to t, then that is another matter.
Does this happen if you start emacs -daemon -q?

I can not reproduce this issue.
