I cannot reproduce this, but I'm not on macOS.  Can someone reproduce
this on GNU/Linux and/or on macOS?

The only changes I see in fontset.el due to Android which could
explain this are supposed to be in effect only when Emacs is built for
Android.  I see quite some changes in macfont.m, but they seem to
affect font's weight and slant, so I'm not sure how that could be
relevant.
