I ran git bisect over my config file history until I found out what triggered
it.

+(load-theme 'modus-vivendi t)
-(load-theme 'monokai t)

So moving to the modus-vivendi theme and loading my meetings, likely with highly
indented sections of four levels or more, triggered some kind of font/face look
up that emacs did not break out of. 

I don't have debug symbols, but the function names are in the backtrace.
