I have the same issue here. After trying everything I found a
workaround:

1. Go to terminal #1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1):
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo Xorg -nolisten tcp :0

2. Go to terminal #2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2):
gnome-session

Now you have an X session running. If Xorg crashes it will generate a core in the folder where it was started from.
It makes things easier if you set the core name pattern. Before starting Xorg, as root:
echo "core.%e.%t.%p" >  /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

No idea if this works with apport.
I don't think this should be taken as a definitive solution.
If you have an easier way to generate X core dumps please let me know.

Xorg does not dump core (via file nor Apport) on crash
