Some off-list advice may have resolved this.  I think the solution is:

1. Don't upgrade dropbear via ssh.
2. Don't upgrade xserver-* packages via FreeRunner's terminal.

So I logged in via ssh and did this:

root at om-gta02:~# opkg list_installed|grep xserver
xserver-kdrive - 1:1.3.0.0-r25 -
xserver-kdrive-common - 0.1-r27.01 -
xserver-kdrive-fbdev - 1:1.3.0.0-r25 -
xserver-kdrive-glamo - 1:1.3.0.0+git-r5 -
xserver-nodm-init - 1.0-r8 -

Stopping XServer
Starting Xserver

After this last one, the Xserver restarted fine.  Then I went back to
the FreeRunner's terminal and did another round of opkg upgrade and it
seemed to be able to do all the rest and come to a normal completion.

(There was one weird error re ncurses wanting to install a file already
provided by another package, but if I'm now down to just a single
package that isn't upgrading cleanly, that's a huge improvement over the
50+ that seemed to be affected before.)
