However, I suspect another bug is involved, as the reported value (0x385f739b4) does not fit in 32-bit unsigned long either, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's garbage of some sort, i.e., that there's another bug at work here too.

If it does not fit in 32 bit unsigned, then it is indeed garbage.  Unfortunately Time is unsigned long which might be 64 bit, but on the X protocol level it is 32 bit.  So garbage may happen.
A watchpoint in gdb on dpyinfo->last_user_time by anyone who can reproduce this would find it.
