It is indeed a bug, if it was known to work previously.
I would have thought about a nouveau bug, but by reading the logs, I do not know... lot of non graphic-related stuff failing too.

I think to ensure that it's not nouveau's bug, you can try to use another driver, like, say, fbdev or vesa. Things will be slower of course, since there won't be as efficient hardware acceleration, but if it is nouveau's bug, the behavior will disappear. Otherwise, it could be xorg, but I strongly doubt it, or the kernel itself, which is more probable since even non graphical stuff are buggy according to the log:

Nov  5 13:12:11 playground dbus[3133]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager' (using servicehelper)
Nov  5 13:12:11 playground dbus[3133]: [system] Activated service
'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown
return code 1

Or maybe the org.freedesktop.NetworkManager service is linked with xorg-dbus? With a lot of modern applications comes strange dependencies... and so wrong designs, but that's another problem that can't be fixed :)
