Grmbl, I must have missed that case when I submitted my fix last time (I
only did it in the actual DGA2 usage, not in the 'probing' code).

The actual root cause is (for me), a 'feature' in the X server that, instead
of reporting the extension as missing on remote clients, report it as being
present but then send error messages when trying to use it.

No need to Grmbl!  it was no sweat to fix and disabling dga in the 
config is a usable workaround until a patch goes in to cvs.

This makes sense; I saw the problem over ssh.
