Images I understand, but fonts? We have always loaded our fonts off
the server file system. Is your settings.FONTDIR some kind of
'http://' URL instead of a file system path? This MIGHT work - I
don't know - but it's your server side that needs the font, not their
browser.

I'm still very surprised at the inconsistency. Please let us know in
a day or two if it's stable. If so we still have an issue to look
into. IMHO if _rl_accel is missing then either things should fail
obviously 100% of the time (with a clue in the traceback), or work
robustly but just a bit slower.
