Hiya

http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~pp/xnewt-glx-bug/ are pcaps of glxinfo (both
with traditional and xcb libX11)

And yes, that's a likely explanation. It's really a bastard Xorg fork from
some really warm place (Some call it Sun, others hell).

"Xnewt combines a device-independent part built from Xorg source
with a device-dependent part that knows how to talk to the 
keyboard, mouse and frame buffer of a Sun Ray.". 

strings says Mesa 6.2.1, no hints on what Xorg it's branched off. Probably
something around early 2005 based on the Mesa version.
