I don't think this is related to xf86. I started seeing these issues when upgrading my kernel to the latest version while keeping all the userland as is. So I assume it is related to an updated Intel kernel driver.
I haven't tried but perhaps the "NoTear" option to the Xorg intel driver would help?
