Further testing has shown that
1. It has only happened when the layer is run in a subprocess
2. Using xvfb-run (via make check) seems to work.  On Karmic, xvfb-run
would hang, which is why I was using a vnc server in the first place.

It seems like the subprocess invocation isn't propagating some piece of
the environment that the vnc server demands.  Perhaps xvfb-run is less
demanding?
