I can repeat this bug as well.
sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
sudo vi /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom
and add the lines as described.
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
ALT+F2
env DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm
pops up an xterm over the login screen. Xhost reports 'no access
control'. This doesn't work with the default X server though, not sure
why the behaviour is different.
** Changed in: xserver-xgl (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
