I just had exactly the same experience as jeroenvrp, and thanks to
finding this report I was able to work around the problem. It's clear
that fontconfig fails to deal properly with font directory timestamps in
the future, so I'm setting this bug to Confirmed.
Also, the error message is deeply unhelpful.
** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
