Sorry for the delay. The bisection was nightmarish because I had to fix 
some include files to complete the compilation. Anyway this is done now. 
The first bad commit where the bug appears is this one

6eff14a789341d366b3013c5aa020e959c954651
dix: deduplicate callers of DeliverDeviceEvents in DeliverGrabbedEvents

but since I do not know the code I can not give more informations except 
the gdb session that you already have.

Mathieu

Ps : I will modify the bug report with the new information.
