No wait, I've bethought me, actually. Partly brought on by issues with
nvidia/wayland that weren't immediately obvious - nouveau is actually
working better for me, if noticeably a bit more sluggish.

Regarding your comment:

"I think that GNOME Shell 3.25.90 doesn't really support HiDPI for X,
just for Wayland. That may be a regression, but Hi-DPI support in GNOME
Shell has been redesigned to prepare to support fractional scaling in
Wayland in a future release and it may be a lot more complicated for all
that to work well on X too."

Yes, it is a regression, because it was working for *non* fractional
scaling factors, and should reasonably be expected to go on doing so,
even if it's fed from a different setting. (ie: it's now ignoring
org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor)

At the moment, in the gnome control center 3.25, I'm seeing only these
scaling options on my desktop: 100%, 200%, 300%; and on my laptop only
100%, 200%. So we don't currently have fractional scaling right now
anyway, though presumably they're expected to appear at some point. But
it's rational to expect these non-fractional scaling factors to *go on
working* in xorg, and perhaps for only those scaling factors to be
offered via the user interface when in xorg.

And it so nearly does already. As previously described right now it's
only gnome-shell itself, and non-GTK apps, that are not being scaled in
xorg now, where they were before.
