Thanks Adam, I have filed a bug report here -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1788739
and here
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107841

Since the output refers to /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session I'm going to
file a bug report on Gnome Bugzilla under gdm and see how that goes.
