This looks somewhat familiar. I saw this on a Radeon 7500 where AGP writes from the card to system memory did not work reliably. So uploading textures to AGP memory (through DMA) was corrupting textures. Reducing the AGP speed to 2x solved the problem on that card.
The problem only occurred after a while of heavy texture usage, when it started using the AGP texture heap. After that it kept using the AGP heap and I saw texture corruption in other games too. The same card also suffered from soft lockups due to AGP status writeback that was affected by the same unreliability. I solved it locally be disabling status writeback in the kernel module before I figured out that reducing the AGP speed helped as well. YMMV.
