Did you rebuild the radeon driver against xserver Git?

I'd guess it is the missing symbol miInitializeBackingStore(). You need to look in the stderr to see what actually caused it to return 127.

Yes it is, x-0.log shows:
/usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so: undefined symbol: miInitializeBackingStore

P.S. I'm using the git version of the xf86-video-ati driver.
