I feel the same way, and whacked at it till it lay still.  So far it seems to work.
To use a monospaced font everywhere in Aquamacs, I do this:

	• Turn off aquamacs-autoface-mode by unchecking Options -> Appearance -> Auto Faces -> Auto Faces.
	• Select Options -> Save options.
	• Select Options -> Appearance -> Font
	• Select Menlo 12 (for Snow Leopard, otherwise use Monaco)
	• Select Options -> Appearance -> Adopt Face and Frame Parameters as Frame Default
	• Select Options -> Save options.
	• Type esc-x. Cursor will jump down to the minibuffer.
	• Select Options -> Appearance -> Font
	• Select Menlo 12
	• Select Options -> Appearance -> Adopt Face and Frame Parameters as Frame Default
	• Select Options -> Save options.

My Aquamacs customizations are at http://formyfriendswithmacs.com/aquamacs.html
