I have the same bug, but I am using 13.10. First it was while I was using Netflix (firefox.exe about 230% HOW???) and compiz about 39. While I use only firefox, for youtube, it goes around 50%. I don't know how to deal with it any more.

Today, after my laptop was on for a while but not in a position where it would overheat, I had random colored pixels on the screen and the mouse position only refreshed a few times. dmesg contains "NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 31, Ch 00000001, engmask 00000101, intr 10000000" but that's all I found. Rebooting didn't fix it; I got a crash soon after login. I went to xorg-edgers and non-compiz desktop, and now I can work but there is still colored snow accumulating all over.
