Weirdly enough, this behavior went away when I tried it this morning (after
a couple of days). Emacs is working again. I can't explain it at all.

Can you do "netstat -a" (look for listening ports in the 6000-6100 range)
when the problem occurs ?
Also, do "echo $DISPLAY".
Try to run "naked" emacs - emacs -q , what happens ?
