I tried running the MUA from inside gdb, and it worked.
Basically, this is what happened
postilion --> error message above
repeat 3 times
ssh -X to my Linux machine
postilion --> error message above
xmessage --> ok
tkxplanet --> ok
postilion inside gdb --> ok
postilion --> ok
# log out
postilion --> this error message:
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)

ssh -X to my Linux machine
$ tkxplanet
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter

I haven't managed to run the MUA a 2nd time.
Ah. Having just typed all this up, I just tried again in case it might
be time related. Since both times it worked, it was about 10 minutes
after a series of failures. Sure enough, it's working again at the
moment.
Any idea what might be going on here?
