Well I am seeing this very same bug in debian too. Debian got mesa 7.4
recently but only includes these patches

02_use-ieee-fp-on-s390-and-m68k.patch
03_optional-progs-and-install.patch
04_osmesa_version.diff.

I've tried various things to nail down the problem.

a) disable compiz / run metacity instead
b) disable aiglx/compositing
c) revert to a known to work self compiled xserver-xorg-video-intel
version 2.6.3

Nothing helped.

I wonder how if the bug is really in mesa and not some other part of
xorg / libdrm ...
