I can reproduce this problem.
I found this a while ago in sid and this week it seems to have propagated
to testing. I am suspicious that it might be related to the new
xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.8.0-1 package that has been for a while in sid
and just propagated to testing (cc'ing the X Strike force so they are aware
of this), since I had some other problem with it, or some other similar
thing.
Is your card an ATI Radeon?
