(Get the code!)
The scenario to trigger the bug is quite clear, intel graphics, max texture size 2048 and a monitor of exactly 2048 horizontal resolution. Any higher and Compiz won't start and it falls back to metacity, any lower and it works fine. Compiz tests to see if the resolution is <= max texture size.
It would be good to get some guidance as to where the bug is, and what should be done about it. If Compiz were adjusted to work only on resolutions strictly less than max texture it would avoid the black screen problem. As Compiz demonstrably works fine on Jaunty it would be great to have these monitors working on intel chipsets under Karmic/Lucid, but if that won't be supported at least lets make it not have the black screen failure mode.
