That's good.  But as I didn't commit a fix specific to this
problem, I still feal a little bit uneasy about a hidden
bug.

First of all, I wonder why your Emacs complained about
fontset-16 which is not created by default.  I suspect some
of your (or system's) setting creates and use it.

What is shown by M-x list-fontsets RET?
What is shown by ESC : (face-attribute 'default :fontset) RET
What is shown by:
  % xrdb -query|grep -i fontset
