Follow-up - further reflections. I'm beginning to thinnk this has nothing to do with i3 (or any other window manager) but is a bug in X, as I suspected originally. No matter which window manager I'm using, if I try to kill X *from within the wm* it always locks up. E.g. doing "kill 3096" (or whatever the relevant process for X is) always causes the lockup.
