This bug was affecting me as well. Bruno Haible's workaround (switch Compositing to XRender) seems to have worked for me. I was seeing the effect in simple "ls -a" (which doesn't scroll) in xterm, as well as in emacs running in an xterm.
I'm running Kubuntu 12.04, fully uptodate. 3.2.0-37-generic AMD FX-8150 using onboard graphics (Radeon), but not the proprietary AMD driver (it has a glitch with respect to xrandr) Don't really know what other info might be needed.
