The problem I see is that the stacktraces seem to be incorrect.
For example:

==21521== Invalid write of size 1
==21521==    at 0x402A788: memcpy (in
/usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
==21521==    by 0xF867F95: ??? (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/fglrx_dri.so)
==21521==    by 0xFFFF1DFFFFFFFFFF: ???
==21521==    by 0xFFFF1EFFFFFFFFFF: ???
==21521==    by 0x1FFFFFFFF: ???
==21521==    by 0x205: ???
==21521==    by 0x200000000: ???
==21521==    by 0x2: ???
==21521==  Address 0x7f19655e45ab is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

This happened on a system with an ati card with the fglrx driver.
On my laptop with intel video chipset it does not.
Hmmm.
