That's what I thought might be happening.  Emacs calls
g_main_context_pending to read events from GDK, which notices that the
display connection has been abruptly terminated, and calls _exit to
abort.

Unfortunately, there's no way for us to fix this inside Emacs, so I
guess you should look into why Wayland display connections are so
unstable on your system.
