That makes sense, we use the new xorg by default here.
I just found a work-around:
If you explicitly disable AIGLX in your "ServerLayout" section, it then
works, both with 3d enabled in the host and not.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AIGLX" "false"
EndSection
