Weird. I don't want to push you too far out of your comfort zone, but I'm curious why it's exiting. If you are familiar with gdb, I'd recommend running xterm under gdb and breaking in _exit to see why it's bailing.
Upgrading from SL to Lion should've left you with a working XQuartz.app since the upgrade would not have touched it.
These xrdb lines are interesting:
>>> 2/23/12 2:27:42.687 PM org.macosforge.xquartz.startx: xrdb: colon missing on line 1, ignoring line
Do you have your own ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults

Still didn't work. Then I noticed just how new 2.7.1 was and re-installed 2.7.0 (after manually deleting xquartz.app due to the installer issue. That should have been sufficient, right?) It's still not working. The examples were run with 2.7.1 re-installed.
