I've unduplicated bug 745608. While it looked like it was a dup, I've installed xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.2 from natty- proposed and the glyph corruption described in 745608 is still present. If you read the upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36326 (and more explicitly https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=47560 ) , it talks about the need for a kernel patch to force unfenced buffers to be aligned to powers of two. Supposedly this is due to hardware tiling bugs on old chipsets...
