Yes, oh clueless one... and of course you want to remove the possibility of
cleaning that up, witness bug #239651.  Do you ever keep track of your own
bug reports?

Here you go:

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset
#
# This script is run as root after the X session ends.

# remove the utmp entry for the session
if grep -qs ^use-sessreg /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options && command -v sessreg > /dev/null 2>&1; then
  sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY -u /var/run/utmp -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers $USER
fi

exit 0

# vim:set ai et sts=2 sw=2 tw=0:

I'm not saying I agree with Branden's decision to unilaterally stop
shipping /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset in order to clean up the xconsole stuff, but
it's not like it's hard to do this yourself.
