I think we had a workaround for this (attached), but it sounds like
Robert has tracked down the root cause (search for "Broken vblanks on
Intel" on dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net). Will try to get the fix
into the Intel driver soon. Fortunately this doesn't seem to be biting
a lot of people (at least not that I've heard); I certainly have a hard
time reproducing it.
