[SOLVED] xlock ignores font specified in .Xresources

Question

Yesterday I updated my system and one of the updated packages was xlockmore.
Since then I noticed that xlock ignores the instructions in .Xdefaults.
How can I get it to use Terminus font again?
Here is the info about my system:

Same problem here. xlockmore-5.41 gives:
$ xlock -resources|grep font
XLock.fpsfont: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.planfont: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.messagefont: -*-times-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
While xlockmore-5.42 gives two more lines:
$ xlock -resources|grep font
XLock.fpsfont: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.planfont: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*
XLock.fontset: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--24-*
XLock.planfontset: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*
XLock.messagefont: -*-times-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I don't have any instruction in .Xresources for xlock, but the font used to be enjoyably small (some monospace font, maybe terminus). After upgrade it's big and ugly; I can't tell its name just by looking at it, but it's a serif font. I have terminus-font installed and a bunch of Windows-compatible fonts manually copied to /usr/share/fonts, and anyway it mustn't be a font problem because as I said version 5.41 works just fine.
The output in the console where I invoked xinit is identical for both versions:
xlock: can not find font: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1, using fixed...
libGL error: some driver error here...
(I believe the libGL thing is because I use the atunnels screensaver.)
Both versions generate:
$ pacman -Ql xlockmore
xlockmore /usr/
xlockmore /usr/bin/
xlockmore /usr/bin/xglock
xlockmore /usr/bin/xlock
xlockmore /usr/bin/xmlock
xlockmore /usr/share/
xlockmore /usr/share/X11/
xlockmore /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/
xlockmore /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XLock

xlockmore /usr/share/man/man1/
xlockmore /usr/share/man/man1/xlock.1.gz
xlockmore /usr/share/xlock/
xlockmore /usr/share/xlock/xglockrc
I ran diff on the two versions of xlockmore /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XLock (I guess it's some sort of config file) and they are identical.
