I don't have an explaination for this - I had similar difficulties porting my 
20.7 environment (configuration spread across Xresources and lisp) - but I 
finally replaced my font/colour configuration with color-theme.el 
(ttp://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ColorTheme) which seemed to iron out 
the problems I was having. YMMV.
