After discussion with Paul Cassella and some more experimentation on my side, I've concluded that this is not a Linux kernel issue at all -- it's a "feature" of fvwm. Specifically, fvwm grabs the entire X server when it's doing a non-opaque move, and xmms only keeps playing music until its buffer is drained. The xmms buffer size seems to be dramatically smaller under ALSA, which is why I never saw the problem until I moved to 2.6.0-test4 and ALSA.
I've changed "OpaqueMoveSize" in my .fvwm2rc file to 90, so it will only use outline-mode for moving windows which are 90% of the size of the screen -- i.e. never, for me. (Another workaround might be to increase xmms's buffer size, but I haven't pursued that side yet.)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=98091 is also relevant here.
