Setting default-frame-alist works around issue:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-10"))

;; also for custom default background + foreground colors:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "midnightblue"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "lightgoldenrod"))
