No, inflated severities never help anyone. I have no other reports of xdm categorically failing and, moreover, I use xdm 4.2.1-4 myself without any trouble. Have you ensured that you haven't configured xdm to not start any local servers? Is the xdm process running? $ ps -C xdm $ cat /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers -- G.
