Sorry for the noise, I think this has been pointed out earlier by Vincent and myself: There is no reason to suspect the quality of the screensaver hack. It has worked well with all cards and if your obscure closed-source proprietary graphics driver crashes with the problem-child that is compiz, the screensaver is the last one to blame. The one unconfirmed occurrence on an intel card can just as well be another bug.
