I just found 2.6.0-1 on snapshot.debian.net and downgraded to it (fontconfig, fontconfig-config, libfontconfig1(-dev)), but that didn't improve things, even after a gdm restart. Perhaps something changed in the configuration? I'm surprised I didn't suspect fontconfig when I first saw the list... I'm CCing debian-gtk-gnome in case anyone there has ideas. (I'm subscribed there, so no need to CC me in replies any more if you include that list.)
