According to my tests, it doesn't occur with

  xorg 1:7.5+8
  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-4

and occurs with

  xorg 1:7.6+4
  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20101210+8bb8231-2

and later.

The way to reproduce the bug is described in

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640464#82

Warning! It doesn't seem to be 100% reproducible, but almost.

Yes, it seems so, but I don't know which.
