Most, if not all FLOSS drivers come with 3D acceleration, it's just not
fast enough to move Windows with real transparency and other effects by
a sane speed. Theoretically reporting this to upstream would be the
right way to get rid of this "bug", but reporting anything GTK and/or
GNOME related that does cause serious issues isn't worse the effort. You
directly could report it to /dev/null, by reporting it to /dev/null you
don't need to worry "bizarre" replies, you could get, when reporting a
"bug" to upstream. There are much more other issues, such as e.g. insane
dependency chains.
