We are experiencing a similar issue and may have some light to shed on the issue (especially for others that may experience it to).
We are running ltsp thin-clients connecting via xdmcp to a debian "unstable" amd64 machine. We occasionally got the same error. It turned out that the error occurs until some application does something along the lines of: xset fp default That command itself fixed the problem. Since we don't seem to do anything strange with the fontpath I don't know why this command makes a dfference but it fixed the problem. (So we inserted it into the R shell script.)
