I did use reportbug. That was the current-or-4-weeks-old sid version at
the time of filing. I indeed forgot to re-read XF86Config(7) (as I
didn't think anything was due to a misconfiguration, as previous
versions worked fine), and did not manually include the XF86Config (my
bad).

I have ditched this video board now (for my first AGP card ever, an
el-cheapo ATI), and am running 4.3.x-pre.

I guess this report can be closed for lack of conclusive evidence of its
continued existence.
