Thanks for your attempt to fix it. Haven't tried the new patch yet, but before I saw it, I created a new PPA for trying the Arch Linux way: A possible upgrade to fc 2.11.94:

Much better result. :) (The below is without the influence of the language-selector .conf files.)

$ fc-match -V
fontconfig version 2.11.1
$ fc-match -a | grep 'Noto Sans CJK SC'
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "DemiLight"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Regular"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Medium"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Thin"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Light"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Bold"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Black"
$ fc-match -V
fontconfig version 2.11.94
$ fc-match -a | grep 'Noto Sans CJK SC'
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Regular"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Medium"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "DemiLight"
NotoSansCJK.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK SC" "Light"

I can't tell if it would be possible to have this accepted for 16.04. It would be very interesting to know if fc 2.11.94 also fixes the Firefox issue, which has been reported at bug #1468027 (see my latest comment there).
