Well, after ktraceing xterm, it appears this delay is directly related
to that message, and to my $LANG being en_US.UTF-8 (the UTF-8 part seems
to be the key, ISO8859-1/15 work instantly).

Just before that message and the following 3-second nanosleep(), it tries
to open a non-existant /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/xiiimp.so.2.
