I recently switched from Ubuntu to ArchLinux (which provides a newer 2.14.0-2 version of the X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers) and the problems in this bug report no longer occur for me. So I think Ubuntu should just provide a newer version of the xserver-xorg-video-intel package to solve this bug. Cheers.
