Thanks for reporting this bug. Since it seems to be quite active on launchpad and users are writing in to linux-bugs about it, I just wanted to mention that NVIDIA is aware of the issue. We've been tracking it for a while under NVIDIA internal bug number 822418. It does appear to be specific to older cards in low video memory situations; for integrated GPUs you can allocate more memory to work around the problem, but for discrete GPUs this isn't a possibility.
We do not currently have an estimated time for delivery of a fix.
