Isn't this a consequence of this commit:

  commit 9344612d3cd164317170b6189ec43175757e4231

      Disable multicolor fonts on OS X since they are not supported on free system

      * src/macfont.m (macfont_list): Don't use color bitmap fonts.

If you revert it, does the problem go away?  If not, can you please
bisect the emacs-25 branch between 25.0.92 and now, and see which
commit caused this?

Thanks.
