Retitled.  The current situation as I understand it:

My GTK+ is built with both Wayland and X11 backends.  The a11y code in
gtk/a11y/gail.c guards X11-specific code with compile-time checks, so they run
under Wayland.  These compile-time checks should be runtime checks instead.

This isn't a two minute patch as the relevant piece of code runs *before* the
display is opened, so simply doing a type check on the default display isn't
going to work as (iirc) it doesn't exist yet.
