Yes.

I don't sure that original developers of fontconfig expect this usecase.
But intent of writer of this setting is clear.

If "binding" is not "strong", fontconfig behaves as you expect.
More detail of this setting is following;

    <match target="pattern">
        <test name="lang" compare="contains">
            <string>ja</string>                  ---- (A)
        </test>
        <test qual="any" name="family">
            <string>sans-serif</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
            <string>DejaVu Sans</string>
            <string>Takao P Gothic</string>
              ......

Please note (A). When "ja" font is required, this setting is applied!!!
