That sounds like what is being reported, but since I didn't touch _that_
part of the logic, I'm left with the impression that you have a slightly
different set of fonts installed than I - and the modifications I made to
the XLFD wildcards are breaking in that case.  If I had a debug-trace from
xterm (configure --enable-trace), I could probably see exactly what the
problem is.

Since it's working fine for me, it'll otherwise be a while until I stumble
over the problem.
