Unfortunately, it appears I cannot. I made a screencast with Kazam, demonstrating the difference between moving a window under Gala and under Compiz. However, when I looked through the video, Kazam had only recorded my Ubuntu login wallpaper (Ubuntu logo tag included) and my cursor. At the part of the video where I used the 'compiz --replace' command to switch over, the video began showing my windows and desktop. But after using the 'gala --replace' command, the video only showed my desktop wallpaper and cursor. I am filing a separate bug for this issue. Using other desktop recorders, such as RecordMyDesktop yields the same result.

I can offer my terminal output, if it helps? Perhaps it will offer a clue when compared to yours.

The video would have demonstrated a literal frame rate difference when moving windows, there are far less 'in-between' states when moving it from one to the other. I would have thought this problem limited to ATI cards, if not for Willeo Soeur's comment.
