This appears FIXED in Gutsy Gibbons!
It seems the
-extension XFIXES
was added. I tested from a user account without an x session nor a $DISPLAY environment variable.
vncserver :1
Then it requested the password.
Then ...
vncserver -kill :1

In
/home/username/.vnc/xstartup
I commented out the xterm line
#xterm .....
 replaced twm with
gnome-session

Then started it again.
vncserver :1

Now tried vncviewer and got into the Gnome Desktop without problems.

It would be nice if VNC4 was compiled against a newer version of Xorg like someone mentioned earlier in Debian had done.
This is good news.
