The answer to the first one is no.  Or rather, it is out of Emacs control.
Since you are using non-client fonts, the list is determined by the X- or 
font-server.  The fact that you can get two matches suggests that your font 
spec is underspecified, if your goal is to get just one specific font.

I see no bug here.
