I made a mistake when sending the bug report and didn't provide all the
information:
in daemon/misc.c the function gdm_peek_local_address_list calls
getaddrinfo with the uninitialized variable hints. This causes getaddrinfo
to fail, which in turn cause gdm not to write the xauthority file
correctly. Changing hints to NULL in the function call seems to solve the
problem.
