An empty .xsession file will crash Gnome too. (I remember that debacle.) I
can't offer a technical explanation.  Maybe it can be viewed as similar to
initiating two desktops environments simultaneously.

Gnome doesn't object to an .xinitrc.  You might setup script in a runlevel
so when you boot that runlevel from GRUB the .xinitrc is executed.
