On Emacs checked out now, it is xterm.c:7566, in function x_catch_errors.
Does Emacs emit any error message when it quits or does it just die?

You could start gdb on emacs (with or without XSync removed):

% gdb emacs
(gdb) b x_connection_closed
(gdb) r -xrm '*synchronous: true'
 // error occurs
(gdb) p error_message
(gdb) bt

This is supposing the error handler is invoked.  Anyway, if emacs dies when 
running in gdb, you will get a gdb prompt.  Do
(gdb) bt
if that happens.
