I have tested this again with a recent git snapshot of xf86-video-intel, but with a different monitor (acer AL1917). As far as I remember, this problem existed with both monitors, the Captiva E1902W and the acer AL1917.
However, with the acer monitor, I just made about 20 mode switches and I did not experience any problems. Maybe this has been fixed during the last weeks?
I will check with the Captiva monitor as soon as I get my hands on it again. :)
