I have managed to narrow down the issue I think. Xorg seems to only crash when the cursor is on the screen that is being disconnected. If I have my cursor on the laptop screen before disconnected everything is fine. Furthermore, if the cursor is on the screen, the workaround is to go into display settings and disable the second screen first. Unplugging the hdmi cable without first disabling screen (in my case a tv) using gnome display settings. The same thing on Arch Linux. I hope this helps get this bug fixed.
