Yay!  Thanks for testing.

Does the 3.8.2 kernel from experimental produce the same messages?

If it does, please report this at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/,
product DRI, component DRM/Radeon, and let us know the bug number
so we can track it.  Be sure to include:

 * which kernel versions you have tested, and what happened with
   each

 * full "dmesg" output, as an attachment

 * /var/log/Xorg.0.log, as an attachment

Hopefully the upstream developers will have ideas for further
tests to track down the cause.

If 3.8.2 does not reproduce the problem, that's progress, too ---
in that case we can work on tracking down the patch that fixed it
and applying the same to the wheezy kernel.

Sorry for the trouble and hope that helps,
Jonathan
