I have also entered a bug in the bugzilla at freedesktop.org. This bug is number 58594. I was advised in response to that bug that many changes have been made in related software recently and I should try a "drm-intel" daily build of kernel 3.7.0 plus the entire suite of "xorg-edgers" updates.
I was able to do this; more details are available at the freedesktop bug. But there was no change in behavior.
I think it is noteworthy that both my computer and mikesmithv's computer use the same i954 chips even though they are otherwise different.
