Actually, it turns out customized faces keep on being lost - it's not
just my old ones.
This means I have a recipe with "emacs -Q" as well:

1) emacs -Q
2) eval (setq custom-file "~/bug7205.el")
3) customize font-lock-comment-face, changing the color to "HotPink",
save for future sessions
3) customize font-lock-function-name-face, changing the color to
"Goldenrod", save for future sessions
4) Exit emacs

At this point bug7205.el contains:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(font-lock-comment-face ((t (:foreground "HotPink"))))
 '(font-lock-function-name-face ((t (:foreground "Goldenrod")))))

5) emacs -Q
6) eval (setq custom-file "~/bug7205.el")
7) eval (load-file custom-file)
8) customize font-lock-comment-face: color is HotPink, but state is STANDARD
9) customize font-lock-function-name-face: color is Goldenrod, but
state is STANDARD
10) save for future sessions on font-lock-function-name-face
11) Exit emacs

At this point, bug7205.el contains just the stubs - at the point of
the save, Custom did not see any faces as customized, so it did not
emit anything:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
