I'm guessing there's some race condition involved, and that the fact that it takes a couple of seconds for xpra to display stuff tickles it. I don't get consistent results run to run which makes things seem like a race condition is at fault. On your local machine, since everything is running fast, you don't hit it, or only hit it rarely.
