Do you see any pattern in which strings could be making X crash? From
looking at the backtrace (ProcXkbSetMap calling _XkbSetMapChecks), it
would be when pasting characters which are not directly available in the
key layout, e.g. ê, could that match what you get?

I don't think it is related.

PageFlip is an important optimization, we don't want to disable it by
default.

That's odd. Perhaps you can send the output of xrandr (without option)
before and after calling the script to have a better idea of what
happens.

The Debian Xorg staff is terribly understaffed indeed. But I can
probably write a little program that reproduces brltty's behavior that
upstream can use to reproduce the issue.
