You are right. Maybe it was intended to work like this. I also found
out why it "worked" on my server. /etc/X11/Xserver pointed to a
non-existing server X-) (I never used startx on the box after some
initial test).

But it is easy to obtain a setup like this (as it just appeared to me). 
Just comment out the Xserver line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.

Ciao,
