Looks like
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6842
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13637
It would be good to upgrade xserver-xorg-core to unstable and see if the
same problem occurs.
Could install xserver-xorg-core-dbg and catch a debugging backtrace with
gdb?
See http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/XserverDebugging and let me know
if you need help.
