I'm not sure how relevant this is to other people reporting this
problem, but up until today, I've been rolling my own kernel and
manually installing the Nvidia driver. Today I decided (for various
reasons) to revert to the Ubuntu stock kernel and driver and have found
that the crash no longer happens.

So certainly in my own case, using the stock kernel fixes this bug. I
have a feeling though that it might be some underlying mis-match between
various GLX-related modules. GLX wasn't initially working when I
reverted kernels (but at least not crashing X) and I found from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=378982 that the installation of
Ubuntu's Nvidia driver was failing to over-write the links to other
versions of a lot of libraries. Sorting out those links enabled GLX for
me, without the crashes.
