As I corrected, the memory leak happens only in Case 2, which is the
most common case I guess.

It will crash in Case 3 as well as 1. XCloseDisplay destroys the
associated database because XlibDisplayDfltRMDB is set, although the
database was not actually what's allocated by some XGetDefault call.
That's why I consider this is a bug in libX11.
