TTBOMK Emacs.app doesn't work with the cairo backend at all, although 
your previous backtrace shows that you get further than me :-)

Yes, that's expected.  About 2 months ago the Emacs NS font driver was 
changed to use NSFontDescriptor intensively in order to support things 
like :script and :lang.  However, some methods are not fully implemented 
in GNUstep (yet).

I maintain a patch for my unofficial gNewSense emacs-snapshot package 
that reverts all these changes (GUI version is 0.12.0 there which is 
fairly old and doesn't have NSFontDescriptor at all):

** Revert changes to the NS font driver that rely on NSFontDescriptor.
   This patch reverts the (good) changes to support
   :script/:lang/:otf in the NS font driver, because they rely on
   the NSFontDescriptor class which is not implemented in the old
   version of GNUstep GUI available in gNewSense.
