I've now solved this problem. There were old libraries hanging around which I hadn't spotted.
Once I removed the libraries under X11R6 and reran ldconfig the problem was solved. There should probably be some notes or some instructions in the release notes on how to purge old libraries to prevent this kind of issue.
