Well, I cannot investigate this myself.  I just tried

src/emacs -Q --eval \
        '(progn
           (custom-set-faces `(variable-pitch
                               ((t (:family "DejaVu Sans" :foundry "PfEd")))))
           (add-to-list `default-frame-alist
                        `(font . "-misc-fixed-*-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"))
           (font-lock-mode -1)
           (insert (propertize "hello" `face `variable-pitch)))'

and the font I got is 
-PfEd-Terminus-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1.  I removed 
the Terminus font from my system, and I got "no font available".
