Uff.  I suspect it's related to this snippet from the ChangeLog[0]:

* The driver now takes measures to prevent other DRM master processes
  (potentially from other local users) from accessing buffers created by
  this driver while switched away to a different VT. Other DRM master
  processes should only be able to access a single buffer anymore, which
  contains only all-black pixels.

Are you willing to report this bug upstream?  See here for information:

We should probably revert this on 'master' meanwhile.  Unfortunately I
don't have ATI hardware to test with, so it would be good if someone
else could try to reproduce this problem.
