I suppose it must relate to your X-server, but I really an not an X-pert
at all. It is possible the X calls in eximon are at fault; not sure how

Yes, of course! It has to do that because it can sometimes take quite a
few tries before a message goes through. Some early Exims had bugs in
this area, but I think it's been OK on this one since the journal file
