This is getting very interesting now. Based On your comments as well as
others this could be related to intel. So far all good reports are from
radeon video drivers, but I happen to be running onboard intel videos.

This is just on my laptop, I set this up in my testing compiz-fusion,
the other is just generic (no conf). I'm going to test the EXA instead
of XAA now (noticed that might be a common feature- most likely a driver
issue though), but I'm sending this message before I have to restart X.

Cheers
