Please show a complete recipe for reproducing the problem, starting
from "emacs -Q".  In particular, we need to see:

  . how that face was defined in the first place (defface or somesuch)
  . how you create a new frame

>     (set-face-attribute 'finsit-javascript-html-tag-face nil :background nil))
> 
>   (add-hook 'server-after-make-frame-hook #'my/fix-finsit-javascript-html-tag-face)

Since you set 'server-after-make-frame-hook', does this mean the
problem happens only with emacsclient frames?  If so, that is one more
reason for providing a complete recipe for us to investigate.

Thanks.
