As pointed out a few comments ago, the actual code in libxklavier where
this error occurs is this:

#ifdef HAVE_XINPUT
 if (xkl_engine_priv(engine, features) | XKLF_DEVICE_DISCOVERY) {
  DevicePresence(display, xitype, xiclass);
  XSelectExtensionEvent(display,
          xkl_engine_priv(engine, root_window),
          &xiclass, 1);

There is an error with that function in it's current form (the if
statement always evaluates true, even if the X server has no XIE).
However, that isn't your issue here. The log from g-s-d clearly shows
that your X server has XIE loaded:

[1250597338,150,xklavier_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_init/]   XInputExtension found
(131, 66, 129)

...and your output of xdpyinfo supports this too. With that in mind, I
can't think of any reason why this code section would cause this error,
other than an issue with NX itself. I've spoken with the maintainer of
libxklavier too, and we agreed that this should be assigned to FreeNX
now (at least until we see a similar issue with Xorg)

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

The only side effect is that theming and icons display incorrectly. It has only recently started to happen so there may be a regression somewhere.
After logging into freenx and Typing gnome-settings-daemon returns the following:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:21810): WARNING **: Unable to start xrandr manager: unhandled X error while getting the range of screen sizes
The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadClass, invalid event class'.

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Disabling the keyboard plugin stops the error and the themes load correctly.
