The following message from xemacs.org seems to say definitively that
Apple's X11 + XEmacs is a bad idea.

This is known to be a bad combination. XEmacs has this problem with X
Errors with certain X servers on certain OSes, but not others. Until
we find someone who can debug it on the problematic server, it's not
likely that you can do anything but try a different server (XFree86
-quartz works fine for me).

People have done that, and the problem doesn't go away. There is a
bug somewhere, but we don't have a good idea what it might be yet.
