Consulted the bug on #gnome-shell IRC.
Next step is to track down the event that actually triggers execution of 
cogl_glib_source_dispatch. It's possible it simply does not arrive. BTW, this 
does not rule out Xorg as potential culprit, it might be simply not delivering 
the expected event. This is yet to be checked.

Title:
  Gnome Shell lock-up on GPU hotplug

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Discovered when testing EVDI-backed screen 
(https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi).
  While adding new device /dev/dri/cardX xorg locks, it can be observed by the 
cursors that stop blinking or menus not responding. Sometimes it is just a 
short (1-2 sec.) pause, but sometimes (hard to state the exact reproduction 
rate, rather rarely) the screen stops completely.
  Interestingly enough, if using HW cursor, it moves fine. Keyboard is at least 
partially functional, as it's possible to "bail out" to tty with C-A-Fx and 
kill the session. Anything else is difficult to check, as nothing really 
happens on the screen, it just remains frozen.

  When adding 4 GPUs at once (e.g. via config in /etc/modprobe.d according to 
https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1843660-screen-freezes-after-opening-an-application-only).
 Haven't checked other numbers yet, to be done soon.
  The problem occurs, when adding the devices, not enabling their associated 
screens/reading EDID or anything like that.
  Also, to be checked with UDL, similar behaviour is expected, but due to the 
fact that it adds only a single device at a time reproducing "complete" freeze 
might be difficult.
