Nothing is broken, GNU Emacs just makes progress – and changes a bit its
behaviour from release to release. And it seems to change its behaviour even
inside a session. The same "exotic" character can be taken from font A the
first time and from font B the second time because in-between GNU Emacs
performed some garbage collection and cleared the cache partially. It's also
possible that the first time I used a text size A and the second time a text
size B so that GNU Emacs had to create two different ad-hoc fontsets.

Isn't /usr/lib/emacs/23.3 now /mnt/p/usr/lib/emacs/23.3? So a sym-link
/usr/lib/emacs/23.3 should be created pointing to /mnt/p/usr/lib/emacs/23.3.
