Beta of 1.4 is due out in the Spring, before JavaOne.
In fact "headless" is primarily regarded as an AWT feature since
unless you actually want to draw into a window 2D doesn't really have a lot
of need for X11. So the work is being done by the AWT team, not the 2D team.
A gross oversimplification of the current problem is that because many 2D APIs
tickle the AWT toolkit class its gets initialised and automatically attempts
to connect to an X server, even though the connection may never be used.
The headless implementation needs to do a lot more than just fix that of
course.
