Good news, Bad news. I solved my issue with X resolution. Apparently the X session is sensitive to the command line used to boot the system. After adding back 'vga=791' (which always scolds me about deprecation), the resolution is normal for this system.
But, after starting about 10 live sessions without any issues, I finally encountered the caja Window-bomb, with my screen filling up with about 8 caja file manager instances as soon as the X session started. I have no idea why this issue would be so intermittent. I've yet to run into this issue on an installed system, but with it being this intermittent, I don't know if that means anything.
