This bug was probably in the server but you're using a very old one
(1.1.1). A very recent one is available in unstable (1.4) and a good one
in testing (1.3). Also, your i965 board should be well supported by
Intel driver 2.1.1 currently in testing and unstable. Is there any
chance you upgrade to testing or unstable instead of trying to debug
some code that changed a lot in the last year?
Anyway, this bug could be similar to upstream bug at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6842 which seemed to have
been ignored so far, so it's hard to say whether it's actually fixed or not.
