I noticed recently that my message buffer was getting clobbered 
with thousands of Invalid face reference errors when moving point 
around an org-agenda buffer. e.g.:

> Invalid face reference: t [4519 times]

As a workaround, setting `org-agenda-show-outline-path' to nil 
prevents the errors.
I believe the face spec in the call to `add-face-text-property' in 
`org-display-outline-path' is incorrect.
The attached patch replaces it with an anonymous face, which works 
on my end.

Yeah, I'd guess the invalid (t ...) slipped in because of the
(DISPLAY . PLIST) used for defface.

Applied (f0902bf18), appending a period to your changelog description.

Thanks.
