No, it doesn't.  I updated my local git repo and built a fresh Emacs.
I'm comparing New (6c9ac53249) with Old (41b1fa05c7).

With  '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro Medium" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))

- Old uses Source Code Pro Medium font (good)
- New uses Arial (bad)

 With '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "outline" :slant normal :weight medium :height 90 :width normal))))

- Old uses Source Code Regular font (bad)
- New uses Source Code Regular font (bad)

I'm attaching two snapshots where you can hopefully see the difference.
This is the medium font:

This is the regular font:
