I’m happy to say this is now fixed.  :-)

The relevant commits are:

  e71ef7a * system: Make sure fonts are searched for in the system profile.
  0bd3597 * gnu: gnome: Add dependency on font-abattis-cantarell.
  4e8b750 * system: Allow account skeletons to be directories.
  71be99b * gnu: Add font-abattis-cantarell.

Turns out gnome-shell.css refers to Cantarell, the font specifically
designed for GNOME 3.  Furthermore, our Fontconfig package does not look
for fonts in the system profile, which e71ef7a works around.
