Sounds like the xsession is dying. In typical fashion, errors will most likely get logged to $HOME/.xsession-errors, but not shown to the user. I not entirely sure how lightdm works, but try looking in $HOME/.xsession-errors after a dud login, and see if that helps. Note this file will get overwritten if you login successfully, so you may have to use use a text mode console, or login as another user then sudo to root to access it.
