It just occurred to me this could be short for "X error"?

Looking over the CVS logs, I think it might have been you (CVS user
"thomas") - but it was six years ago.

See Bio/SeqUtils/__init__.py revision 1.2

The comments say Bio.SeqUtils.seq3 was inspired by BioPerl.  I've only
skimmed the BioPerl SVN history, but they do seem to use "Xaa" and not
"Xer",
