I'm not sure what the significance of this last part is.

Did you somehow manage to upgrade xcontrib in the same run as xlibs?  I
can't see how its app-defaults files managed to stay in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults even after xlibs' preinst script moved
that directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.moved-by-preinst.
