Update: Setting the virtual framebuffer to 2048x2048 seems to be stable. I tried this yesterday and didn't get a freeze at all. I reverted back to original configuration to submit the above apport data though.

Perhaps this bug needs to be merged in with the i965 freezing issue

Please leave this bug open a few more days and I will continue testing with Virtual at 2048x2048 and update.

For those playing at home, I added the following to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the screen section:
 SubSection "Display"
   Depth 24
   Modes "1024x768"
   Virtual 2048 2048
 EndSubSection

Not entirely sure the Modes line is necessary but it's the only res I use on my laptop anyway.
