It is premature to say this is an Xlib problem.  I was able to make the
problem go away on my pre-4.2.1-7 builds by downgrading *only*
xserver-xfree86 to 4.2.1-6.

Now, of course, xdm works fine for me in 4.2.1-7 because of this:

      + GCC 3.3 appears to produce bad code for PowerPC at the optimization
        level required by Debian Policy (the X server cannot validate
        XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 keys); when building on PowerPC, set
        DefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt to -O instead of -O2

I guess it produces bad code for *all* architectures at -O2.  Wonderful.
