My -current is quite out of date and I don't run normally run X on it
but my $0.02:

Are you using jemalloc or phkmalloc?  Does fiddling with MALLOC_OPTIONS
have any effect?  Have you hit an edge case somewhere?

Do you have any long-running clients?  X clients can store objects in
the server and some web browsers have been known to simulate Xserver
leaks.
