It happens for both fonts. I've tested 

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
             '(font . "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1"))

and

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
             '(font . "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1"))

Anyway, here is a recipe for reproduction:

1. C-x C-f "a larger file, with a no space in last line, first col"
2. M->
3. C-p
4. Use mouse wheel to scroll buffer up

It doesn't happen always, but often. Depends on redisplay calls, I
suspect. See enclosures, which show a superfluous "(".
