And it was connected, and left idle. After some time, I assume it died (lost the client log), and it drove both itself (and a vmware-virtual box (!!)) both to 400% CPU.

Server gave the #2904 when it was asked to give xpra-info.

Find attached "new" xpra-info and the display.log

If you can reproduce this, please enable full debug:

xpra control $DISPLAY debug enable all

And post the server log. It must be doing something..

Accurately for every start :-p

I guess I can start it (from client) with xpra shadow ssh://1.2.3.4/:0 --debug=all?
Of course, I still need to install the new v3 and test it before anything ...

Yes.
