I think you are an absolute hero for getting this close to identifying the bug. Operations on a window that X has not yet finished creating seems like a good theory. Please keep up the good work!!
While we are on the topic, is it not strange that X and/or Firefox does not seem to have robust heap management and garbage collection? I mean, If I create huge amounts of tabs, X/Firefox will get very large, but they do not seem to shrink much if I delete the window. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm certainly no expert on the innards of X nor Firefox.
