In case it's not clear to all readers yet; Xwayland and gnome-shell are
co-dependent processes. If one crashes then the other will also crash.
So we need apport to be capable of handling both crashes simultaneously.

Turning core files into crash files after the fact is a bit too late in
my case. With Xwayland and gnome-shell both racing to write ~/core I
will still be missing one of them.

You could try passing a core file to apport when there is not a
graphical shell running via a command like the following:
/usr/share/apport/apport < $my-pretend.core
With that you should get a .crash file in /var/crash. Here's an example
where 11736 was a running xeyes process and core was
Information from 'journalctl -u apport' around the time of the core
file's creation would be useful or /var/log/apport.log if apport was
really running.

This might be an apport bug alone. Historically apport has had trouble
working without a graphical shell. And in all cases of this bug seen so
far it was when there wasn't a graphical shell running any more :)

gnome-shell and Xwayland sometimes leave $HOME/core files (should be
/var/crash files).
This is despite:
$ grep . /proc/sys/kernel/core_*
