It is working for me with 3.5.99.7. So we already have fix.

The error message you posted is this:
traps: x2goagent [3339] general protection ip:7f02464e2e6d
sp:7ffef6c22150error:0 in libNX_X11.so.6.2[7f0246496000+123000]

So we have a problem in libNX_X11 which - in 3.5.9.77 - is on the
current xorg upstream level 1.6.5. In nx-libs 3.5.0.32 it is rather
old (about 1.3.3). I am curious if it is sufficient to ONLY copy
libNX_X11.so* from 3.5.99.7 to your crashing installation. If that
helps we could release 3.5.0.33 or 34 with that libX11 exchanged. This
should generally be bit much less risky than just marking 3.5.99 as
stable.

On the other hand: we have fixed lots of security and stability bugs
in 3.5.99.x so using those versions is generally advisable (from my
POV).

You could try to install libNX_X11-dbg and attach gdb to x2goagent
(run "gdb -p $(pidof x2goagent)") just before starting thunderbird.
When it crashes you'll get a backtrace. Using that information we can
(hopefully) see if a quick backport could help. That would be the
least invasive solution.
