So a "warm" restart rather than a cold reboot?

I haven't seen this before, and I'd say you still have a config file 
problem. The obvious problem is that the block of code populating the 
font_override.xml file should be before the line that launches mvpmc. 
First fix that and see if it cures the symptom.

More generally, it sounds as if you are starting mvpmc successfully 
using the command line above specifying the IP address, but subsequent 
startups are using a generic invocation, without the command line 
parameters. I'm not familiar with how the mvpmc code implements warm 
restarts. I had assumed the original parent mvpmc process remained 
running (and backing that up is what you see in the process listing (a 
single mvpmc thread) when the MVP is powered off), and on the next 
"power up", it just spawned the necessary threads. If so, that wouldn't 
explain the behavior you are observing.

If fixing the config doesn't cure it, the next thing I'd try is loosing 
the "--startup mythtv" switch.
