All of this works, user can login through text console and ssh. selinux is disabled. But even startx isn't working, and again the Xorg log doesn't give any indication what might be the problem.

I have seen similar issues when user shell profiles like .bash_profile or .bashrc has some errors. Are users invoking other shells from their default shell ? this usually breaks X11 start-up scripts.

Package selection was the last option (create workstation or something) with most but not all extra package groups that are selectable at this point. This is a KVM machine, I have tried the default (cirrus) and vga, no change.
