Some updates on this bug:
I've tested several VcXsrv-Versions from http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/vcxsrv-modified-by-x2go... The bug purely occurs with the more recent versions of VcXsrv - like 1.15.2.0 and 1.15.2.1 The bug does NOT occur with the older versions 1.14 (tested 1.14.3.2).
So the bug is caused by changes made in VcXsrv from version 1.14 to 1.15. I used the debug version "vcxsrv-debug.1.15.2.1-xp+vc2013+x2go1.installer.exe" to receive the following trace of the SIGFAULT:

Hi Martin,
This is a bug that I do intend to fix when I get a chance, even if it means fixing the bug in the VcXsrv code. However, I am not an expert at C, and I probably will not fix this anytime soon. (Patches from others are welcome.)
However, in the meantime, you can follow this workaround:
- Install VcXsrv (VcXsrv-xp) 1.14.3.2 and remember where you installed it.
- Configure X2Go Client for Windows to use that vcxsrv.exe as an external X server: Options -> Settings -> X-Server settings
If you have a large number of users or machines that need these settings, you can save the settings a registry key that can be exported and imported per-user-account and per-machine. The reg key is: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Obviously Nice\x2goclient\settings]
