Ouch, sorry, I keep making that shortcut despite what Jeremy pointed out the
other day.
It's not the reading of $DISPLAY, it's accessing the socket that is named by
its value (when that's the value set by launchd).
I'm not familiar with the mechanism so I won't speculate any further (but part
of my earlier reasoning must still hold, in a much less invasive manner).
This reminds me that at some point in the past I spent more time than I cared
in figuring out a reliable way to unset DISPLAY in terminal emulators not
running under X11. I can't remember exactly why I did that, but it seems not
impossible that it was for related symptoms.
