I recently updated to kernel 2.6.31-9.29 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.1-1ubuntu1 (from whatever karmic was about a month ago, which worked fine), and I'm seeing this deadlock as well (on a Thinkpad W500). I'm also seeing all kinds of display corruption (leftover shadows, images scrambled, etc), but I don't know if it's the same bug or not.
Below is the kernel dmesg output; the X server is locked up and unresponsive, but otherwise the machine is running (accessible via ssh over the network, for instance). I have an external VGA monitor attached. So far my machine has locked up twice in a few hours. [ 5880.448104] INFO: task i915/0:874 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
