Yes.

It's a pain in the rear to escape quotes from within quotes, so I use
backquotes instead, which works as well as long as there's no comma
nested inside :-)

I'm not. I just can't see an obvious good reason for it.
I suspect I wouldn't be the only user who'd find this rather perplexing.
So let me return the question: what part of the above code makes you
think it's correct for Emacs to use a different font than the DejaVu Sans?

DejaVu is a scalable font, so I can't see how it could not have a size
that matches.
