    Is there any rhyme or reason to this (or is it a known bug)?

Yes and yes.  It's happening because there is a maximum length for any
single X request, and you've exceeded it.  In this case, Xlib can reasonably
break it up into multiple requests, but isn't doing so.  This will be fixed
in the MIT R4 Xlib.
