You are seeing the same symptom, but that does not necessarily mean that
it is the same problem. See
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Igetthe.22EQoverflowing.22error
for more explanations.

Thanks. This looks somewhat odd to me:

How come that the X server tries to continue after the segfault?

You could try to debug the problem yourself, please see
http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/use-gdb.html for instructions.
Trying different kernels might also be useful.
In any case, please open a new bug if you find out anything
interesting. The current one is already unusable.
