I found another place that uses `read-face-name':
`describe-face' calls

  (read-face-name "Describe face" "= `default' face" t)

so later it should compare `face' with `"= `default' face"' like

    (unless (and face (not (equal face "= `default' face")))
      (setq face 'default))

If this is ugly, we could call `read-face-name' with the real face name
(i.e. `default'), not with a string describing default:

  (read-face-name "Describe face" 'default t)

But in this case, the prompt is less descriptive:

  Describe face (default default):

Compare it with the current prompt:

  Describe face (default = `default' face):
