Reworded and confirmed.

Although if there ever were any crashes related to this bounce, they have probably been fixed now.

The only remaining annoying part about this bug I can see is if you use non-rootless mode; resize the root window and then lose your last X client. The Mir connection+window gets recreated fullscreen again, instead of the size you made it.

That all said, just keeping non-zero X clients running is a sufficient workaround. The bug is not a problem at all in -rootless mode because you never see the root window when it does go away and return. For non-rootless if you're running a desktop (e.g. nautilus) and/or any window manager, any of those are enough to keep the connection alive. So I don't see any major problem here that anyone will see in reality.
