I don't expect it to be a server-side issue, but then there was a recent report
that turned out to be a byte-swapping bug in the server, and I didn't expect it
then either... :-)

I meant, which extensions are these applications actually using? I'm hoping to
pin the blame on a client-side extension library rather than libX11 itself. ;-)
The list of loaded libraries from GDB would be a start. Is there some Launchpad
way to download all the attachments from all the public duplicate bugs at once?

I don't have very high hopes though, especially after I went through checking
for SyncHandle bugs in every extension library I could find, last week.

Regardless, I hope your effort to get more information from downstream bug
reporters works out.
