Please make sure that nx-libs 3.5.99.16 is installed on the server side.

This sounds like a typical incarnation of the DPMS bug, fixed with nx-libs
3.5.99.15.

However, this doesn't sound like it. Normally the DPMS bug only manifests after
a pretty long time (say, an hour or 1.5h, depending on DPMS settings), but not
right away after starting the session. I haven't yet seen such an error message
yet. It's possible that it's caused by the session repositioning on non-first
displays/nxagent crashing bug as fixed with nx-libs 3.5.99.16, but normally that
incarnates differently (i.e., nxagent is being started successfully, but then
dies quickly while starting the session without a client-side error message).
