As some here and on the kde.org bugtracker entry have already pointed out, this seems to be /very/ specific to Ubuntu's X.org builds. It's not prevalent in Fedora, OpenSUSE, nor Debian. As Niels Slot mentioned (at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170462#c36) if you add Debian's unstable repo to your Kubuntu apt sources and manually install its X.org binaries, *that gets rid of it*. I haven't tried this myself yet, so second-hand information.

It seems to be an X quirk that Nvidia just found a way to work around. No Christmas time for us with intel chipsets. :'<

Could this be caused and fixed by some option set/not set when compiling?
