This may or may not help... but do any of your X init scripts do an explicit xrdb -load or -merge of ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults?
In Red Hat 8.0, for example, if I have xterm*faceSize to a particular value, when I first run an xterm it comes up one size. If I do xrdb -load ~/.Xresources, running a second xterm uses a larger size. Ditto for Mozilla. I have no idea what the "real" size is, i.e. if I have 12 as faceSize, if 12 is what I used before or after I do an explicit xrdb, but somehow running xrdb changes it. I have no idea why this is, but it may be related...
