I can't reproduce this and there is no cyclical inheritance in those faces in the base file, so it is more likely that the cause is a specific theme or user customizations.

What theme(s) were you using when this occurred?

It's doom-nord,I also use setup.el and elpaca to manage my .emacs.d

Maybe related to #875? For me, #875 isn't resolved yet, maybe it should be reopened?
