As you can see, you enabled connections from localhost via TCP,
corresponding to DISPLAY=localhost:0 .

DISPLAY=:0 is a UNIX socket connection, which is something different. To
enable UNIX socket connections, use

xhost +local:<username>

Closing this non-bug.

(BTW, if you use su without -, the superuser automatically has access to
the display of the user running it)
