Most of the time a large gnome-terminal occupies my X session. I figure
if it is correlated to stressful activity it must be either dpkg-buildpackage or
rsync printing lots of text.
I wish I could ssh in and try to gather more debug info, but I really lack the
time right now.

I don't think so.

I understand. Mixed feelings here too. This bug is about a short term
problem, but in long term if situation isn't resolved upstream it seems
cooperation with FreeBSD et al to create an UMS fork would be the
only option (assuming manpower will be available).
