After closer inspection of pacman.log, xf86-video-ati was upgraded from 6.8.0-4 to 6.9.0-5. libpciaccess is required by xf86-video-ati, yet for some reason it was not installed during the upgrade and was never installed before. So it wasn't the Xorg upgrade, but the ati driver upgrade itself that looks to be the issue.

How did you upgrade? Did you use pacman -Sd to upgrade something?

I had planned on doing the upgrade at a later time, so I used pacman -Syud thinking it would download all packages without installing them. However it went ahead and did the full upgrade for me.
