I was mirroring to my Apple TV when the MBA seemed to go to display sleep. I was right there and pressed a key immediately to refresh the screen, but the MBA had gone to the full login screen -- not the unlock screen. I logged in and all my apps were where I left them, but it seemed the network had been dropped; my browser needed me to re-sign in to my web accounts.
And yes, it appears WindowServer crashed:

Followed shortly by a slew of CGSConnection backtraces.
After that, nothing would allow me to reconnect to the Apple TV. Every attempt resulted in

I tried various things (switching the Apple TV from passcode to password and back, etc; restarted the AppleTV) except I was unwilling to try rebooting the MBA. Killing coreaudiod seems to not fix this one.
The MBA is associated with an Airport Extreme and the Apple TV is wired to the same AirEx.
The MBA screen is, oddly, still locked in with the Apple TV's aspect ratio, although the Airplay menu drop-down says I am disconnected.
Apple TV: MD199LL/A running 11D169b .
Airport Extreme: up to date
