The 'exec' will never return from running /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm.
That's what 'exec' does. Runs something in replacement to the current
script. So the second 'exec' never runs.

So far I haven't seen any glitches.

I upgraded recenlty and haven't had installation or cut/paste
problems,
and all my X11 apps work fine. Note that I use the following
.xinitrc
file for seamless (so far) copy/paste between X11 and Aqua:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/rxvt -geometry 100x30+30+30 -title rxvt-1 -bg ivory
-fn times -sl 2000 &
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm --only-proxy &
That 'exec' is superflous, and will probably break under other shells.
exec /sw/bin/icewm
