Maybe there was a later bit I didn't read?
In either case, his current situation seems to be kind of nonchalant, considering his last few weeks of life, and the complete non-reaction from all the people who could legitimately blame him for getting them or their friends killed, also seems a bit out of character.
There are some mutants, such as the former Morlocks picking a fight with Greycrow, or the other Morlocks refusing to even set foot on Krakoa and hanging out in Arizona or Madripoor, that are acting much more *in* character, it seems.
It doesn't have to be Xavier up to shenanigans, either. Shadow King, Exodus, Krakoa itself, are all potentials. (Krakoa has a passive link to the psychic energies of all of them, for instance, so it's not impossible that he has the ability to render his chosen prey, mutants, somewhat passive and accepting of their current circumstances, so as to remain in place and available for him to feed off of, and not run away.) Perhaps even a modification made to Cerebro, by Moira, that even Xavier doesn't know about!
All sorts of options.
And yes, sloppy writing could be one of them. But there's a whole lot of good writing here, and crazy callbacks to characters we'd practically forgotten (like Taki or Cortez), so it seems unlikely that there'd be quite so much gratuitous OOC behavior from writers who seem to have such a deep well of knowledge of older characters and tales.
