I believe there may be a bug in fontconfig or the setup thereof - please see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4236
Specifically, the fonts.conf file attempts to include /etc/fonts/conf.d, but the parser does not understand how to include a directory, and instead attempts to open the directory as a file.
Directly including the files within conf.d does not work either, and throws other errors.

Can you file a bug report in bugzilla.redhat.com against fontconfig with a reference to the upstream report?

Well, the problem turns out to be a conflict between the version in /usr/X11/lib (which was from a build of Xorg) and the "official" version in /usr/lib - so the problem was on my end.
However, I've seen other people have the same problem, so perhaps these messages will be indexed and help them solve their problems.
