The X server will reset itself when there are no clients.  Therefore,
if your server is running but you have no X clients, when you run
xhost it establishes a connection, it does its stuff, it exits, the X
server resets and effectively undoes what xhost did.

The solution, as you noticed, is to run an X client to keep the server
from resetting when xhost exits,
