My information may be out of date.
The kernel team does not support the nvidia driver, since we do not
have access to its source code and cannot predict what it will do. If
you are interested in pursuing a fix from that end, please feel free
to file a bug against src:nvidia-graphics-drivers, and the maintainers
might be able to point you in the right direction.
*searches* Ah, looks like this is already filed as [1], so you can
follow up there if you have ideas for moving forward on that.
As a nouveau user, of course I'm biased and prefer it. ;-)

Thanks. So this is an NVC3.
There has been some important relevant work in v3.3-rc2. Could you
test a 3.3-rc2 or newer kernel from kernel.org? See [2] for
instructions.
Thanks very much,
Jonathan
