Not sure about that, I take it you are running the current testing/Sid
libc6 (2.13-4). The nvidia-kernel-dkms module sure compiles here on
Wheezy/Sid amd64, and xorg doesn't crash when loading nvidia module. I
don't run the Debian kernel though (custom 2.6.38.6).

Do you have the logs from the upgrade right before the crash, what
packages got upgraded ?
In between your different trials you cleaned up thoroughly ? I am
thinking Nvidia .run here.
I see new nvidia packages entered Sid, one is "nvidia-installer-cleanup"
which may find some residual components of a previous install, it's
worth a shot if you are still stuck with this problem.
