OK, I got it: I made the mistake of reading the documentation. :( The documentation says:* Xvfb screen* changes the screen resolution and pixel depth, it needs to be in WxHxD format (i.e. 1600x1200x24). The default is 1024x768x24. Unfortunately, there is no default, the default is blank, which is wrong. Once I specified something (I used "1024x768x24"), it started to work again.
