So if you are using 
        $ cat /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/xmonad.session 
        [GNOME Session]
        Name=Xmonad/GNOME
        RequiredComponents=gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-panel;
        RequiredProviders=windowmanager;notifications;
        DefaultProvider-windowmanager=xmonad
        DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
then it would be interesting what component makes gnome-session think
that the session has failed to start – could be one of the four
mentioned. xmonad can probably be excluded (you’d notice if it crashes
and is restarted), so either the panel, the settings-daemon or the
notification daemon don’t like the layout.

You could add --debug to /usr/bin/gnome-session-xmonad and check if
~/.xsession-errors contain something suspicious when the bug is
triggered.

Greetings,
Joachim
