When starting gnome session from startx, or starting gdm3, the
gnome-shell process tries to access /proc/1/cgroup, which would
obviously not work when /proc is mounted with -o hidepid=, but I could
not find anything relevant in its source.

After upgrading debian testing yesterday, the gnome session shows a
fullscreen "something went wrong" dialog with a "log out" button, even
for a new user on a fresh install of gnome, so that's the end of my
debugging. I also tried using gnome-shell from experimental, with no
luck.

I'll reassign this bug to "gnome-shell" without being entirely sure, but
that looks like one step closer to the origin of the problem.
