So which part of this "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so,
or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package"?

Refusing to log information isn't data loss if you never had it in the first
place. Given that there have been RC bugs filed repeatedly in the past
against packages for filing up the user's disk with spurious
.xsession-errors info, this change in GDM sounds to me like a feature, not a
bug...
