Well it has the same effect with gdm, (if userA logs in GDM it doesn't
work)

That doesn't work either:
- Clicking System Tools->New Login activates the screensaver on
my current session and the monitor flickers like X restarted,
but doesn't create a new login window.
- System Tools->New Login in a nested window works fine.

Nothing looks bad - basically no errors in either .xession-errors, or
XFree86.1.Log. Essentially it appears something is waiting for
something else to startup - some sort of deadlock or something.
