Okay, some further investigation shows that this bug seems to be limited to R200 cards (Radeon 9000, 9100, 9200, etc). While the new driver fixed crasher bugs in newer cards, it seems to have broken DRI on some older ones. We're stuck in a bit of a catch-22 here, where no one will ever be completely happy with fglrx. :/

Anyhow, the workaround of disabling "fglrx" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and then rebooting (so the kernel modules isn't generated on boot anymore) will at least make X happy, though obviously break 3D...
