Confirming that package is fine and does not crash.
Should I report that issue to the xorg issue tracker  ? Maybe they will have a
hint about what it could be or an idea how to further debug it ?

That's what I would usually do, but do not have access to a separate PC at the
moment. Anyway, I switched to using SDDM instead of startx (which is unusual,
not recommended, etc) and it recovers nicely on Xorg crash (back to SDDM
login).
