A bit of googling suggests that for the last year or so a lot of
people have seen that message triggered by a variety of programs.
I get the impression from browsing the bug reports that they may be
coming from the Gnome window manager, but I am not sure of that.
I do know that I am using KDE and have never seen any such messages.

There has been no change to the wxt terminal code since December.
The bold/italic markup included a small change to the shared cairo code,
also used by wxt, but I don't know why it would have resulted in changing
your default font.

Perhaps the change you see is actually due to defaulting to enhanced
text mode.  Do you see the same thing if you do "set term wxt noenhanced"?
