Yes. Same thing happens.

One thing that I noted is that opening X doesn't make it consume 99%
cpu all the time, but opening any X client makes it use 99% CPU for
some time.

Opening xterm (just after starting X) on the openchrome "black window"
made Xorg consume 99% cpu for almost 2 minutes, and then after these 2
minutes I can see the xterm (but the rest of the root window is still
black, instead of gray). Then, if I move the mouse, Xorg will start
consuming 99% cpu for some time again. Does this information help a
little bit?
