Uh, not at the xquartz trac site? I can do either but I thought that
xquartz wasn't officially Apple's problem.

I'm not certain. When it happened I just swore under my breath and
clicked the X11 dock icon to restart X (clicking the icon is how I
usually start it). It wasn't till a few seconds later that I thought
to question the lack of an "application quit" message, and I hadn't
noticed whether the little blue dot was still there. So it might've
still been running, or not. I do recall that it took quite some time
(maybe 10 or 15 seconds) to open any fresh xterm windows, so if the
server was running then it must have been in some pretty strange state.

Nope, it's set correctly (TERM=xterm) and in any case that would hardly
explain a transient misbehavior in a window that was working as expected
before and after. But you can probably ignore this part given the lack
of hard information --- if I see it again maybe I can characterize it
better.
[ thinks for a bit... ] Actually, if the crash-or-whatever-it-was
led to failing to supply the right TERM value to subsequently-started
xterms, then maybe your explanation is the right thing. But that's
the merest blue-sky speculation.
