I asked for testing in bug 453236 and no one ever responded. :(

I didn't realize there was already a bug reported for this (searched beforehand, didn't see anything).

I initially tried installing 1.2.1, but it fails to compile against xorg-server-1.13 (as reported in  bug 453236).  I keyworded 1.2.2, which builds but doesn't load, hence the patch in 1.2.2-r1.  It works now.
