I do not see any call to FcInit in libsl, nor do I see any such call in
dmenu/dwm. Running dmenu master branch under leak-sanitizer doesn't show
any leaks related to fontconfig (v2.13.1) either.

How exactly did you detect this leak? And are you sure this is a problem
on libsl/dmenu/dwm side and not the library itself leaking things?
