I'm prepared to believe this, but I think it interesting that
in X.V11R2, the "bitmap" program does exactly this.  I recently reamed
that program to provide some additional capability (don't ask for
it - it's specific work for a project and useless in general) and
had a whole bunch of trouble until I turned that bit off.  Of
course, it also doesn't say TRANSIENT anything.  I have a suspicion
that the "bitmap" code is very early X stuff.
