you know the dependency better than I do so any hints are apreciated.
afaict, the screenInfo.numScreens (the check used by Xinerama) isn't
necessarily initialized at this point so we can't use the same check.
The following seems to work though:

Subject: [PATCH] xfree86: if only one screen was found, disable Xinerama (#24627)
Xorg +xinerama crashes immediately due to whacky dependency between Xinerama
and RandR12. The latter doesn't initialize if Xinerama is enabled, but if
only one screen is found, Xinerama is disabled again and RandR12 tries to
access data it never initialized.
Dependency chain is:
- ProcessCommandLine sets noPanoramiXExtension to FALSE
- xf86RandR12Init() is a noop
- PanoramiXExtensionInit sets noPanoramiXExtension to TRUE
- xf86RandR12CreateScreenResources tries to use the devPrivates key it never
initialized.
This hack checks if there's only one screen at the time RandR12 is
initialized. If so, we expect Xinerama to fail anyhow so we disable it
ourselves and proceed as planned.
