yes, the reason for the failure is pretty simple, it's that
these symbols are not directly in a modern libX11, but
instead in the external libXau, which libX11 requires.
What we don't understand is why this problem has come back,
because libchk does now know how to follow dependency
chains to resolve symbols.  You're not the first person
to report this is still happening, although at the moment
I don't recall if the other report also came from the same
company.

can you report the version of libchk itself?
you can ask libchk (libchk -v) or the version tag is
embedded in the journal file (journal.libchk), a line like

30||VSX_NAME=
