Not sure where the problem is exactly but it can be reproduced like Juha suggested.
On Xubuntu 22.04 if you go to Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts and set "Hinting" to "Medium" or "Full" and have FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35", all the DejaVuSerif...Italic fonts appear to break. Either changing the interpreter version to 38 or 40 [0] or setting "hinting" to "Slight" seems to be a workaround.
