We've pretty much pinned it down, now. The recipe is: hybrid graphics +
systemd-udev update == X crash. That is, if there's a systemd-udev
update in the dnf transaction, and the system has hybrid graphics, and
X is running while the update runs, X will crash. If you're running the
update in a VT, X will crash but the update will complete OK. If you
run the update inside X, the update process will die when X crashes and
your system will be left messed up.

My machine at work where this happens isn't hybrid. It has three monitors spread over two Nvidia cards though, driven by nouveau rather than the proprietary drivers.
