Excellent.  The next step is indeed to report this upstream.

Be sure to mention:

 - steps to reproduce the problem
 - symptoms and how they differ from the expected result (that should
   be simple enough in this case :))
 - which other versions you tried and the result for each
 - a link to http://bugs.debian.org/651532 for the full story
 - any other hints or weird observations

Attach:

 - full "dmesg" output and Xorg.0.log from booting and reproducing the
   problem with 3.2-rc4, with the firmware available
 - full "dmesg" output and Xorg.0.log from booting 3.2-rc4 without the
   firmware available, for contrast

And please let us know the bug number so we can track it.

Thanks very much,
Jonathan
