So in regards to the question as to where the bug originates: I just installed Arch to the affected system, and when installing, could only get X running with i810 driver. xf86-video-intel wouldn't do it. Didn't install compiz or any 3D effects at all. My interpretation is that this implies that somehow it is a bug in the changes to X and the driver, though it makes mysterious the reason why disabling compiz is a successful workaround. I am very confused...
