I was actually able to reproduce this with 3.14. I tried to reproduce
this before with drm-intel-nightly on SNB, IVB and HSW, but failed.
Turns out I needed a more recent xorg intel driver to uncover the bug. I
bisected the first appearance of the bug to

    sna: Enable kernel rotation support by default


but oddly, after

    Disable DRI3 by default

turning the rotation on with xrandr causes a black screen that can be
fixed by vt switching away and back to X.

Anyway, I haven't looked yet into why the support for the Present
extension uncovers the bug, but it seems this bug has been in the kernel
for a while.
