No, not really, but it doesn't affect me now.
If I understand correctly, what happened was that KMS broke DRI for X, so it
switched back to non-accelerated rendering. Non-accelerated rendering gets the
pixel columns wrong. In addition, it seems that DRI with 24BPP requires more
memory now that I have (can someone confirm/explain that?), which made
diagnosis more complicated.
After turning off KMS and upgrading, I was to switch back to 16BPP, which
works accelerated now, so the bug doesn't affect me. However, this is rather a
workaround than a fix.
