FWIW, I missed the original thread, but have seen similar behavior- X 
locks completely, system has remained responsive via ping etc.  Nothing 
unusual being logged in messages nor in X error log.

System is IBM Netfinity 4500R, dual 667MHz CPUs, 1G RAM, ServeRAID 3L 
(2x 9G striped SCSI disks), S3-Savage 4 Video, saw with CURRENT 
kernel/system approx a week ago, rebuild current snapshot from today to 
see if it's still happening or not.

Don't recall if it happened back at 5.1R, but definitely did happen 
prior to 5.2 Beta and RCs with 5.1 CURRENT, and including 5.2 RCs/CURRENT

System's been religiously rebuilt ensuring kernel and source/base are in 
sync, and also did a complete ports forced rebuild as of last kernel 
build of the entire system to see if some odd dependency problem got 
introduced, still locked up..

The only other 'oddity' I've seen is a TON of 'usb0: 1 scheduling 
overruns' messages, but the frequency seems to come and go...only thing 
using USB is a printer which currently isn't configured for this system.
