Did you try adding '-engine 1' option to the X server command line?
All modes apart from multiwindow use DirectX drawing by default, and there
have been reports that doesn't work correctly over RDP.
(From my brief research, this may be related to the DirectX version which Xwin
uses. DirectX over RDP, rendering on the host, is supposed to work since
Vista, but only for DX9 or later clients, and XWin uses an older DX interface)
