Thanks for reporting.  Can you reproduce this using
xserver-xorg-video-modesetting and the 3.8.y kernel from experimental
as well?

If so, please file a report upstream at bugzilla.kernel.org, product
Drivers, component Video(DRI - Intel) with the information described
at [1] and let us know the bug number so we can track it.

If not, we can try to find what patch fixed it and apply the same to
wheezy.  So either result is progress.

This should use the gma500_gfx driver.

Hope that helps,
