That's how it is supposed to be in both cases, so we can rule that out.
Now why X fails in the first case but not in the second, I don't know.

I think you're best off reporting the bug upstream, please see
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for instructions.

You might want to disable the wl module temporarily, kernel developers
refuse to help when the kernel is tainted.
