Not reported since I was (and still am) not sure it's a bug.
I may try to track it down and/or build a test case.

Well, IMHO and if I get what you mean, forcing developeres to use
(y)our own select is just a bad idea.

Maybe exporting a dumb file descriptor which can be selected to *know*
they're events in the XCB queue would be better (something like
timerfd?).
