What's wrong:

Observed while reading news:

emacs occasionally displays text characters as rectangular blocks.

My default font is "fixed".  Character zero in that font is a
rectangular blob.

Occasionally, text at the end of a line is "replaced" by these blob
characters.

Hitting C-l invariably seems to fix the problem; attempts to
deliberately recreate the problem seem to fail.
