the whole thing is blank other than the letter "m"

the clock gets digits as they change.

When that happens, try by restarting gnome-shell (Alt+F2 and type "r"),
I've also experienced the "missing letters" from time to time.
this puts me back exactly to the state where the
font letters are missing. like right now i am typing this in Gnome
Terminal 3.4.0.1-1 and gnome- panel 3.2.1-2+b1 using slrn.
Just as reference, I was pointing to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636874
But in my case, restarting gnome-shell solves the issue so maybe is that
you're facing a different problem then :-?
the gnome-panel up above is missing the word
"Activities" completely, to the right a little it has the icon for the
terminal "T m al", the clock in the center shows "7" and the rightmost
part says "m".
to get it to display correctly i have to again
click the accessibility icon (that is not displayed until i hover over
it) and clicking "L rg T xt" and then again clicking "Large Text" (to
turn it back to normal font). then all is well again.
As you're using sid, check for any package update, if any.
What VGA driver are you using? Although you firstly thought there is no
relation between this and your UI problems, true is that there can be :-)
(intel cards use to work smoothly with gnome-shell while ati/nvidia and
the closed source drivers are more problematic, specially for nvidia), so
if you have the chance and aren't afraid of messing up your system you
can try to "swap" the current VGA driver (meaning, if using open source
drivers load the closed one or viceversa).
if i knew how to automatically include these
steps in the desktop startup i could try that, but i'm not a gnome
wizard.
I can't imagine a bypass for this, but you can open a bug report so the
issue can be closely -and properly- tracked.
